The number of probe sets up or down in shoot or root tissues of Hua 11 and Hua 30 in response to salt stress at level of 2-fold or more and a value <0.05 was shown in this list. The annotation of probe sets was obtained by the best BLASTX hit against UniProt, TIGR rice, and TAIR Arabidopsis database. Functional classifications are defined according to Jiang and Deyholos [61], Rai et al. [62], and Mazid et al. [63]. The number in front of + was represented as the no. of probe sets only regulated in Hua 11 or Hua 30; the number behind + was represented as the no. of probe sets regulated both at Hua 11 and Hua 30. The redundancies probe sets are included only once in this list.
