  1. Expression was measured at different days post partial defoliation (dppd) by insect (HD) or mechanical (MD) damage in different plant tissues of Amaranthus cruentus. Refer to Table 3 for further details.
  2. 1The expression of the Glucose-6-phosphate transporter AhG6PT gene was not detected in any of the tissues examined.
  3. 2NE = Not Expressed.
