Enriched Gene Ontology (GO) terms among transcripts within the intersection of differentially expressed in susceptible Diabrotica virgifera virgifera larvae independently exposed to maize roots expressing different Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) pesticidal proteins*. Significantly over-represented GO terms within the categories of biological process (BP), cellular component (CC) (FDR ≤ 1.0E− 5), and molecular function (MF) at level 2 (FDR ≤ 1.0E− 6; gray bars). Categories listed by GO ID and GO term in order of highest significance (bottom) to lowest significance (top). Number of transcripts encoding each PFAM domain within each functional category are indicated (black bars). * Set of 563 transcripts with estimated significant levels of differential expression between D. v. virgifera larvae exposed to hybrid maize roots that express Bt Cry3Bb1 (T8; Hx) and Gpp34/Tpp35Ab1 (T5; Hx) compared to non-Bt control maize roots (T7; Cn) within independent treatments (intersection). These shared transcripts were further filtered by in silico subtraction to remove differentially expressed transcripts that were also differentially expressed within entomopathogen treatments (Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (Hb) and Metarhizium anisopliae (Ma))
