Table 2 Gene-ontology (GO) categories overrepresented among the differentially expressed genes for the variable plant use. Gene expression data were obtained from different tissues from caterpillars reared on six different plants grouped according to either their evolutionary history of association with nymphalids (plant use)

From: Evolutionary history of host use, rather than plant phylogeny, determines gene expression in a generalist butterfly
