Figure 6.
Logarithmic plot of fold change comparisons between glass microarray, PC microarray, and sequencing results for five genes randomly selected from the list of genes found to be differentially expressed on the PCs but not on the glass slides. Fold change values for glass and PC microarrays were calculated by determining the ratio between average microarray expression level for trifoliate samples to average microarray expression level for cotyledon samples. A similar ratio was calculated using number of reads for sequencing data. The PC microarray results show similar directions and magnitudes of change compared to sequencing data for all 5 genes, while glass microarray data for CHP089 and CHP004 does not agree with the sequencing data.
