Most common cis-acting promoter elements within the most differentially up-regulated genes in Arabidopsis germinated seeds at stage II treated with PEGa.

aAnalysis performed with Athena[21].bWhere B = T/G/C; K = T/G; M = A/C; Y = T/C; R = A/G and N = A/T/G/C.The number of promoters containing at least one instance of the TF binding site and the total number of TF binding sites in the selected set of sequences are given in the ‘P’ and ‘S’ columns, respectively. The p-value for enrichment is a measure of how overrepresented a motif is in the selected set of genes versus the overall occurrence in the genome.
