Global changes in gene expression during compatible and incompatible interactions of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) with the root parasitic angiosperm Striga gesnerioides

Table 1 Number of genes differentially regulated in the various cowpea- Striga interactions

Interaction	Up-regulated genes*	Down-regulated genes*	Total*
SG3 6 dpi (incompatible)	81	30	111
SG3 13 dpi (incompatible)	1111	991	2102
SG4z 13 dpi (compatible)	855	1089	1944

Given in the table the number of significantly (*p < 0.05) up- and down-regulated genes and the total number of differentially regulated genes in interactions of cowpea B301 roots with Striga races SG3 and SG4z.
