Prespore and prestalk gene expression in terminally differentiated cells. a Boxplots of “prespore” (pink) and “prestalk” (light blue) gene expression in each terminal cell type. The set includes 840 prespore genes and 913 prestalk genes identified in [16]. For comparison, the expression levels in prespore and in prestalk cells from the original data are also shown. The middle lines correspond to the medians and filled diamonds correspond to the means. The difference in the mean of expression levels of prespore and prestalk genes in stalk, but not in spore and cup cells, is statistically significant (p < 0.01, shown by asterisk). The lower and upper hinges in the boxplots correspond to the 25 and 75 percentiles, respectively. Outliers are shown as filled black circles. b Expression levels of select prespore and prestalk genes in precursor and mature cell types. Error bars represent 1 standard error (SE) of the mean from three replicates
