Genes in which RNA levels increase during priming and germination

Predicted gene function, number of independent cDNAs on the array that represent that gene (between parentheses), the closest Arabidopsis gene homolog, and the average 2-log ratios of swapped dye duplo hybridizations relative to osmoprimed seed are shown. Genes discussed in the text are indicated in bold font. Average expression of group 3 genes is shown in Figure 4C.
