Experimental parameters.
Figure 1.
Differential gene expression following exposure to bacteria- and CCA-derived cues.
Significant (p<0.05) change in gene regulation is given as the % difference compared to the control. Dark and light green (+) represents those genes that were up-regulated (X>20, 20≤X<0); orange and red (−) represents those that were down-regulated (0>X≥−20, X<−20). Data from the 12 hpi experiment (high concentration treatment and complete metamorphosis) was taken from Siboni et al. [12], which also includes full protein names and description of the genes.

Influence of different settlement-inducing cues and exposure times on gene expression of Acropora millepora larvae.
PCA score plots of the % difference in gene expression compared to the control, presented with convex hulls highlighting groupings and showing PC1 and PC2, for A) J010-E 1–12 hpi and HOorg/aq, Assay 1, B) J010-E 1–12 hpi and HOorg/aq, Assay 2, C) J010-E 1–12 hpi, Assay 1, D) J010-E 1–12 hpi, Assay 2, E) HOorg/aq, Assay 1 and F) HOorg/aq, Assay 2. Time points for J010-E are represented by: 1 hpi = black full circle, 2 hpi = blue empty square, 3 hpi = green empty circle and 12 hpi = cyan empty triangle. CCA-derived cues are represented by: HOorg = pink full square and HOaq = red cross.
