Changes in genes expression of E3 ubiquitin ligase genes following different conditions. A gene was considered up- or down-regulated when transcript amount increased or decreased of at least two times in treated samples respect to control samples. Up-regulated genes are reported in grey, down-regulated genes in black. Number of up- and down-regulated genes is indicated for each condition. The conditions considered are: biotic stresses (bacteria, fungi, insects, mycorrhiza, nematodes, syringolin, chitin); abiotic stresses (anoxia/ipoxia, cold, drought, heat, wounding, ozone, H2O2, osmotic, oxidative and salt stresses); hormone treatments (cytokinin, salicylic acid, jasmonate, auxin, gibberellin 3, ethylene, brassinosteroids, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) and ABA), hormone inhibitors (inhibitors of auxin, gibberellin, ethylene and brassinosteroids), treatments affecting protein metabolism (cycloheximide as inhibitor of protein synthesis, MG13 as inhibitor of proteasome), treatments affecting photosynthesis (high CO2, PNO8 as photosynthesis inhibitor, norflurazon as inhibitor of carotenoids synthesis), light treatments (dark, blue, far red, red, UV), treatments affecting sugar metabolism (glucose and sucrose supply), nutrient starvation (potassium, nitrogen, sulphur) and senescence. A gene was considered up- or down-regulated by a given condition when its expression changed following at least one of the treatments grouped in the considered condition. Expression data were obtained from GENEVESTIGATOR (2/14/2008 12:02PMhttps://www.genevestigator.ethz.ch – Metanalyser) [62].
