A TF gene was considered organ-enhanced if transcript levels for that gene were more than 10-fold higher in one organ than in any other organ. Transcript ratios were calculated using the mean of three biological replicates for each organ. Data from qRT-PCR are compared with data for the same RNA samples obtained from Affymetrix Gene chips [38]. Affymetrix data were normalized using the Robust Multiarray Average (RMA) method, as described by [38], prior to calculation of ratios. Data in bold represent the lowest transcript ratio of the corresponding gene across all organs. n = not present on Affymetrix chip; a = Ct > 40 in two or three biological replicates of denominator organ; b = transcript called 'absent' by Affymetrix software in two or three biological replicates of denominator organ. L = leaf; S = stem; P = pod; F = flower; R = root; N = nodule.
