Comparative Analysis of SWIRM Domain-Containing Proteins in Plants

Figure 4

Expression patterns of genes encoding SWIRM family proteins in Oryza sativa based on Genevestigator. (a)-(b) Expression patterns of SWIRM genes in different developmental stages and different anatomical parts. The darkest blue color represents the maximum level of expression for a given gene across all measurements available in the database for this gene. This means that color intensities can only be compared between elements from the same gene but not with those from other genes. The expression potential of a gene is a robust measure for the maximum of the expression level for this gene. The expression potential is defined as the average of the top 1% signal values across all samples for a given probe set in a given platform. (c) Expression patterns of SWIRM genes induced by abiotic stress. Green-red color coding bar represents ratios of treatment versus control values. Gray is used to indicate that both treatment and control are in the background range and that therefore the ratio is not robust. The background threshold B(x) is a probe set specific expression level. It is defined as B(x) ≤ 50% quantile of all signals measured of probe set x having “absent” calls (P value > 0.05) according to MAS5.
