a
Sequence-based subgroups with ≥95% of EST sequences coming from specified taxa or tissue(s), excluding whole plant and unspecified tissues.
b
Average number of unique sequences found in TIGR's plant GIs, Uniref100, and the Arabidopsis and M. truncatula genomes.
c
Average EST redundancy from TIGR's plant GIs only.
d
These tissues are itemized in “Materials and Methods.”
