Venn diagrams comparing the DBM induced transcriptome changes with the response to other herbivores. The number of induced (up-regulated, left column) and repressed (down-regulated, right column) genes upon DBM feeding (indicated by blue circles) was compared with the response to other herbivory treatments that have previously been published [1-3,5,15]. Circle areas are drawn to scale to the number of genes found differentially expressed (DE). Given with absolute numbers and in percent is the fraction of differentially expressed genes that is regulated in the same overall manner in the two datasets of comparison (overlapping area), or that is affected only by DBM or only by the other herbivore. In A to G the fraction of differentially expressed genes found in a given experiment that is not present on the other array is shaded in lighter colours. For H and I the necessary microarray platform information for a detailed comparison are unpublished. If more than one time point or more than one ecotype were used, a gene was defined as DE if it was up- or down-regulated in at least one of the different treatments with the same herbivore using the same array platform. A) Herbivore: Piris rapae; Arabidopsis ecotype: Col; time point: 5 h; definition of DE: p(t-test) < 0.05 & foldchange > 2 (replicates: n = 7); platform: CATMA array, unique AGI loci: 15,722 [3]. B) P. rapae; Col; 12 h or 24 h; DE: 'present' in at least one array & foldchange > 2 (n = 1); Affymetrix ATH1, unique loci: 21,833 [1]. C) P. rapae; Col; 3 h to 5 h, 24 h local, or 24 h distal; DE: p(t-test) < 0.05 & foldchange > 2 (n = 5); platform: cDNA array, unique AGI loci: 7,200 [5]. D) Spodoptera littoralis; Col; 3 h to 5 h; DE: p(t-test) < 0.05 & foldchange > 2 (n = 5); platform: cDNA array [5]. E) Frankliniella occidentalis; Col; 12 h or 24 h; DE: 'present' in at least one array & foldchange > 2 (n = 1); platform: Affymetrix ATH1 [1]. F) Bemisia tabaci; Col; 21d; DE: SAM q < 3.917% & foldchange > 2 (n = 2); platform: Affymetrix ATH1 [2]. G) Myzus persicae; Col; 48 h or 72 h DE: 'present' in at least one array & foldchange > 2 (n = 1); platform: Affymetrix ATH1 [1]. H) M. persicae; Ws, Cvi, or Ler; 1d; DE: q(t-test) < 0.05 & foldchange > 2 (n = 4); oligo-array, unique AGI loci: 2,158 [15]. I) Brevicoryne brassicae; Ws, Cvi, or Ler; 1d; DE: q(t-test) < 0.05 & foldchange > 2 (n = 4); oligo-array [15]. Data for all pairwise comparisons as well as the numbers for multiple intersects are given in Additional File 3. This table also contains information on all genes being called DE in at least one experiment.
