Figure 3

Venn diagram showing the classification of genes highly upregulated by rhizotoxic ions in Arabidopsis roots. Genes were selected if the fold change value was in the upper 2.5% of quality-controlled spots in each microarray experiment after 24 h incubation with AlCl3 (25 μM), NaCl (50 mM), CdCl2 (15 μM) or CuSO4 (1.6 μM). Genes upregulated in three independent replications were defined as highly upregulated. Genes highly upregulated by each stressor were grouped by Venn diagram. Underlined gene groups consisting of 103 (Al), 57 (NaCl), 48 (Cd) and 77 (Cu) genes were unique for each stressor, while the gene group consisting of 41 genes (italicized) was overlapped by all stressors.
