Table 1.
Numbers of differentially expressed genes for selected treatment and time contrasts. The number of upregulated, downregulated and total transcripts with Log2 >1.0 at adjusted p < 0.05 is given. Air, control treatment (continuous air); Et, ethylene treatment (air supplemented continuously with 10 μl l−1 ethylene); wn, number of weeks in cold storage at 1 °C; Top, top section of onion baseplate; Bot: bottom section of onion baseplate.
