The changes in gene expression are shown as log<sub>2</sub>(stress/control) values determined using qRT-PCR for each genotype. Vertical brackets correspond to standard error based on three technical replicates of qRT-PCR experiments. The functional annotations for these genes are as follows: GRMZM2G108149- conserved protein involved in amino acid metabolism; GRMZM2G071206- conserved expressed protein involved in nitrogen metabolism; GRMZM2G400718 - unknown conserved protein; GRMZM2G102447 – GCIP interacting protein involved in regulating cell cycle; GRMZM2G108057 – cation transporting ATPase.</p>
