a
Putative identity based on BLAST analysis. Organisms other than Arabidopsis are given behind the putative gene identities.
b
No. of ESTs in the corresponding contigs found in approximately 10,500 partially sequenced cDNA clones from Arabidopsis seed library.
c
Average fluorescence intensities of two Arabidopsis seed versus leaf comparisons.
d
Mean ratios of two Arabidopsis seed versus leaf comparisons.
