^aGO term classifications: P, Biological Process; C, Cellular Component; F, Molecular Function.

^bQuery item number in MS preferential expressed genes.

^cTotal annotated query item number in agriGO.

^dQuery item number in maize genome version 5a.

^eTotal annotated item number in maize genome version 5a.

^fDetermined by Fisher exact test.

^gDetermined by Benjamini–Hochberg–Yekutieli procedure.

GO terms with P-value < 0.001 and FDR ≤ 0.05 were regarded as overrepresented terms.
