Comparisons of H3K4 methylation dynamics during germination tube formation between MoSET1-dependent and -independent gene sets.

<p>“MoSET1-dependent genes” were defined based on a comparison of FC values (germination tubes [GT]/mycelia [myc]) between wild-type and Δmoset1 strains (see <a href="http://www.plosgenetics.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pgen.1005385#sec002" target="_blank">Results</a>). When the rate of FC increase or decrease of a gene in the Δmoset1 strain was less than 50% of the wild-type strain, the gene was categorized as a MoSET1-dependent gene. Genes not meeting the criterion were classified as “MoSET1-independent genes”. MoSET1-dependent and -independent genes were further divided into “up-regulated (UP)” and “down-regulated (DOWN) gene groups. The levels of H3K4 methylation (H3K4me2 or H3K4me3) in each group is represented as a box plot. In the box plots, the central black line indicates the median value, and the top and bottom edges of the box are the 75th and 25th percentiles. The whiskers extend to the most extreme data points which are no more than 1.5 times the interquartile range from the box.
