Comparison of intron numbers between genes with unstable mRNAs and other genes in Arabidopsis

	n	Mean ± SEM	Median	P value^a
Genes with unstable mRNAs	94	2.41 ± 0.33	1	9.5 × 10⁻⁶
Other genes in the genome	26448	4.37 ± 0.03	3	9.5 × 10⁻⁶
Intron-containing genes with unstable mRNAs	60	3.78 ± 0.42	3	9.3 × 10⁻³
Other intron-containing genes in the genome	21207	5.45 ± 0.04	4	9.3 × 10⁻³

P values were calculated using the Mann–Whitney test.
