Number of up- and downregulated genes according to the major role categories. (a) Ψm of −0.4 MPa. (b) Ψm equivalents of −0.5 and −1.0 MPa created by PEG 8000 amendment. Positive and negative numbers correspond to up- and downregulated genes, respectively. Categories: A, transport and binding proteins; B, transcription; C, signal transduction; D, regulatory functions; E, protein fate; F, fatty acid and phospholipid metabolism; G, energy metabolism, other; H, energy metabolism, biosynthesis and degradation of polysaccharides; I, DNA metabolism—DNA replication, repair, and recombination; J, chemotaxis and motility; K, cellular processes—adaptation to atypical condition; L, biosynthesis and degradation of surface polysaccharides and lipopolysaccharides.
