Distributions of differentially expressed genes across replicons of <i>Sinorhizobium</i> sp. NGR234.

<p>a, pNGR234a; b, pNGR234b; Chromosome, cNGR234; three replicons were separated by dashed lines. log2 Ratio(VB/F), the base 2 logarithm value for the ratio of expression level between bacteroids of <i>Vigna unguiculata</i> (VB) and free-living (F) <i>Sinorhizobium</i> sp. NGR234; LB/F, the ratio between <i>L. leucocephala</i> bacteroids and free-living bacteria; LB/VB, the ratio between <i>L. leucocephala</i> bacteroids and <i>V. unguiculata</i> bacteroids. The red bars above the horizontal line represent genes with the log2 Ratio values >1.0 whereas the blue bars below the horizontal line indicate genes with the log2 Ratio values<−1.0.
