Table 3.
Citrus genes with the highest repression level (log2 < –2) in the flavedo and/or albedo of elicited oranges 5 and/or 7 days after the beginning of the experiment. Values represent the log2 ratio of: a, I1/NT; b, IC4/NT; c, IC5/NT; d, IC7/NT. Numbers in bold indicate differential expression in the compared conditions according to significant analysis of microarrays (SAM) (P < 0.01) and log2 < –2. The symbol ‘–’ indicates expression in NT fruits but not in the compared treatment. See nomenclature in Table 2.
