Gene ontology analysis was performed using radiation-responsive transcripts showing a more than 2-fold difference in expression between the WT and ddm1-2 mutant after gamma irradiation. GO terms in the table were selected based on P values in each GO category.

aCluster frequency of a given GO term in the differentially expressed genes selected. Numbers in parentheses indicate percentages.

bThe total frequency of a given GO term in all annotations in the Arabidopsis genome.
