The number of changes in transcripts for genes in response to Fe starvation under different P conditions
Numbers of genes whose transcript change in response to Fe deficiency in P-sufficient and -deficient conditions were determined by comparing the levels of transcripts under −Fe+P versus +Fe+P or under −Fe−P versus +Fe−P. Differential expression analysis was performed with P value correction (Benjamini and Hochberg, 1995) at the 0.05 level.
