Complete list of genes whose expression respond to hyperbranching in ΔracA versus wild-type and to the switch from polar and apolar growth in PglaA-racAG18V versus PglaA-racA (4 h after induction).

Genes up-regulated are indicated with ↑, genes down-regulated with ↓. Differential gene expression was evaluated by moderated t-statistics using the Limma package [82] with a FDR threshold at 0.05 [83]. Identical ORFs or proteins with predicted similar function being also differentially expressed in ramosa-1 are indicated in bold. Fold changes and statistical significance is given in Additional file 1 and 2.*: Protein functions were predicted based on information inferred from the Saccharomyces genome data base SGD (http://www.yeastgenome.org/) and the Aspergillus genome database AspGD (http://www.aspergillusgenome.org/).
