N spots is the number of spots studied, % from Ecotype or Environment is the percentage of spots, respectively, being statistically different between treatments within factor. The numbers in parenthesis are the percentages with significant differences in expression before multitest correction. The mean value ± standard error (SE) from the percentage of differences due to ecotype is represented as well.
