Growth Conditions: Columbia (Col-0) Arabidopsis thaliana plants were grown at a density of 4 plants per 5" square pot in a green house under conditions approximating 25*C by day, 20*C by night with a 16hr photoperiod. Expanding leaves were harvested 15 days post germination in the middle of the photoperiod. RNA and Microarray Methods: Total RNA was extracted from the plants using the Trizol method. Twenty micrograms biotinylated complementary RNA (cRNA) was prepared as described (Hernan et al. (2003) Cancer Res. 63, 140) from the purified total RNA. The resulting cRNA was used to hybridize ATH1 Arabidopsis GeneChips (Affymetrix) using the manufacturer’s protocols. The array images were analyzed with the Affymetrix Microarray Suite 5.0 software with the target intensity set to 500. Normalized signal intensities were generated by multiplying raw signal intensities by 0.602709, the ratio which will set GapC (ID_REF = 258588_s_at) to 8500.

Data table header descriptions
ID_REF
As defined by Affymetrix, these are the probe set identifiers, each of which is unique to a specific probe set defining a specific reagion of a single gene or set.
VALUE
This is the intensity for each probe set idendifier as calculated by Affymetrix Microarray Suite 5.0. Average Target Signal set to 500.
DETECTION
A qualitative measurement indicating whether the probe set is detected (Present; P), not detected (Absent; A), or marginally detected (Marginal;M)
Detection p-value
A p-value indicating the significance of the Detection call. A Detection p-value measures the probability that the discrimination scores of all probe pairs in the probe set are above a certain level, and that the target is likely to be Present.
Normalized Value
An adjusted signal value which sets the baseline transcript, GapC (ID_REF = 258588_s_at), to a value of 8500. This normalized signal is more accurately comparable across different tissue type experiments in this series.
