Classification was performed for 119 DEFs with statistical similarity to GenBank plant protein sequence ( values lower than ) by BLAST search. The functional category was assigned based on function classification criteria in the website of Munich Information Center for Protein Sequences (MIPS) (https://www.helmholtz-muenchen.de/ibis/).
