The rice root transcriptome was investigated 1 and 4 days post mCOPE treatment (1 and 4 dpt, respectively) and compared with buffer-treated control plants. Upon treatment, all plants were 14 days old. This table shows a selection of defense-associated terms obtained via MapMan (Thimm et al., 2004) and gene ontology (GO)-enrichment (Reimand et al., 2016) analyses on significantly upregulated genes after comparing gene transcription levels of mCOPE- vs. mock-treated plants. ACC, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid, an ethylene precursor. Per-gene transcription levels and complete outcomes of MapMan and GO-enrichment analyses can be found in Supplementary Tables 1, 2, respectively.
