Importantly, there is a clear signature of the parents» sensitivity to high CO2 in the molecular phenotype of the offspring expressed by
the differential regulation of genes controlling the circadian rhythm indicating adaptive potential through natural standing variation.
Out
of 24,389 OGSv2
gene models, we did not detect any expression in either sample for 2,950
genes and filter an additional 7,289
genes because
of low average expression (leaving little or no power to infer
differential regulation for these
genes).
