  1. Non-redundant GO categories identified as enriched among up-regulated genes in infected plants versus mock-inoculated plants. The percentages of genes belonging to each category are reported for the differentially expressed genes and for the A. thaliana genes present in the microarray. The absolute number of genes is reported in parenthesis for the differentially expressed set. P: FDR-corrected P-value for the Fisher's exact test in a 2 × 2 contingency table.
