Genes with a fold change ≥1.5-fold in transcript abundance are considered as up-regulated/down-regulated genes in sulfate-deprivated sample (−S) compared to the control sample (+S). The up- or down-regulated genes are classified into different functional categories. All expression values are based on the biological averaging of pooled samples from three individual plants.
