Table I.

Comparison of the presence of the putative motifs within the genome and the subsets that showed maximum expression at a given time point

The sequences analyzed were all 1-kb upstream regions (66,710) and all 3′ UTR sequences (3,027) obtained from the full genome sequence information files from TIGR. For the 1-kb upstream and 3′ UTR genome sets, the number of sequences in which the motif occurred (Freq.) and the corresponding percentage (%) of all sequences that this represents are shown. A z-score analysis was carried out (Supplemental Table S6C), and the putative motifs found to be significantly overrepresented and underrepresented (+ and − at P < 0.01) are shown next to the percentage of sequences in which the motif occurred. For the putative 1-kb upstream motifs, asterisks indicate that these motifs partially/fully match known rice elements found in the Rice Cis-Element Search and/or PlantCare databases. Previous analysis of 3′ UTR sequences (Ohme-Takagi et al., 19932; Narsai et al., 20071) have suggested the involvement of these motifs in mRNA stability. Elements that contain some overlapping bases are indicated by the same superscript letter.
