* Genes induced only by heat stress. ORF—open reading frame. Heat—heat stress (44 °C for 15–20 min); Salt—salt stress (0.5 M NaCl for 15–20 min); Osmo—hyperosmotic stress (0.5 M sorbitol for 15–20 min); Light—change of light intensity (from 20 to 300 µmol quanta/m2 sec for 30 min); UV-B—ultraviolet (UV-B) light for 30 min; pH—low pH ~4.0 (30 min); DBMIB—10 µM 2,5-dibromo-6-isopropyl-3-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone (30 min); DCMU—10 µM 3-(3,4-dichlorphenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (30 min); H2O2—250 µM hydrogen peroxide (20 min).
