FDR was determined on the basis of 1000 permutations for 12,311 analyzed genes. Note that some FDR was >100%. This was due to the d score distribution of nonsignificant genes in real data being tighter than the null (Tusher et al. 2001), meaning no significant enrichment over background. Boldface highlights the number of significant genes described in the main text.

a

Delta, the thresholds.

b

Sig+ and Sig−, the number of genes significant for each of the two directions of comparison. For parental expression difference, + indicates that expression level is greater in Col; for cis effect, + indicates that cis variation upregulates Col; for trans effect, + indicates that trans variation upregulates Van; for imprinting effect, + indicates that Col allele is upregulated in Col-mother F1 hybrids.
