The DEGs presented in Figure 4 are sorted into 17 distinct categories according to the significance of differential gene expression between the three groups of plants. For instance in Category 1, expression of 793 genes was significantly higher in SC plants than in YF plants but expression of these genes was not significantly different between SC and YC or between YC and YF.
