New Insights in the Sugarcane Transcriptome Responding to Drought Stress as Revealed by Supersage

Table 2

Total number of sugarcane upregulated (UR) root tags observed on contrasting SuperSAGE libraries when associated with ESTs classified by Gene Ontology (GO) in the subcategories related to abiotic stress response.

Response against	GO categories	Exclusive UR tags	Common UR tags after comparison
		T	T and D	T and S
Water deprivation	0009414	20	25	11
Heat and cold	0009408; 0009409	19	54	18
Osmotic stress	0006970	32	57	19
Oxidative stress	0006979	19	27	6
Abscisic acid stimulus	0009737	24	37	12
