Motif enrichment or depletion of specific cis -elements in auxin-responsive promoters from A. thaliana. Statistical significant motif enrichment or depletion of specific ZRE, MRE/MYC and AuxRE related cis-elements (Table 1) in early (0.5 – 1 h post auxin treatment) and late (3 h post-treatment) auxin-responsive promoters from Arabidopsis thaliana. A) Motif enrichment or depletion for individual motifs in promoters of auxin-regulated genes. B) Significant enrichment or depletion of bipartite motif modules comprising ZRE, MRE/MYC and AuxRE cis-elements in promoters of auxin-regulated genes. The embedded motifs have a variable but maximal spacing of 100 bps. C) The significance level, which is defined by the determined Bonferroni corrected p-values, is displayed as colour-scale. Enriched motifs or modules with respect to parameter I are illustrated in shades of blue, whereas depleted motifs/modules are given in shades of red. Motif abundance that is significantly altered with respect to parameter II is coloured green for motif density enrichment and purple for motif density depletion.
