  1. TC specific genes separated into those genes expressed throughout uniform wall (UW) and wall ingrowth (WI) formation and those that are specific to each of these wall-building phases. Genes expressed throughout ingrowth wall formation are separated into groups depending on their differential expression patterns of no change, up-regulated during UW or WI formation (for more details, see Results).
