Other designations used: Up upregulation, Down downregulation

^a G indicates glucose, R ribose, X xylose. Notation G/R means the comparison between glucose and ribose transcriptomes, where up- and downregulation is given for glucose transcriptome relative to ribose transcriptome

^bX ≠ G ≈ R designates the group of genes that have distinct expression in xylose transcriptome in comparison with glucose and ribose transcriptomes, where the last two have relatively similar expression; up- and downregulation is given for xylose transcriptome relative to glucose and ribose transcriptome; G ≠ R ≠ X – the group of genes that have distinct expression levels in all three transcriptomes
