Table 3 Gene Ontology (GO) categories enriched in the set of genes commonly differentially expressed between all three of the spurred taxa in this study versus A. ecalcarata at each developmental stage (DS)

From: Comparative transcriptomics of early petal development across four diverse species of Aquilegia reveal few genes consistently associated with nectar spur development

  1. GO enrichment for genes more highly expressed in A. ecalcarata are presented in the upper part of the table while GO enrichment of genes more highly expressed in the spurred species are presented in the lower part of the table. Ontology category abbreviations - BP : biological process, MF : molecular function, CC : cellular component. A GO category was deemed enriched relative to all annotated genes in the Aquilegia reference transcriptome if the p-value adjusted for multiple comparisons using the Benjamini-Hochberg (BH) method was less than 0.05
