  1. *Based on FDR < 0.15 and at least one genotype (parent and/or hybrid) average microarray signal > 50
  2. **Subset of DE genes with microarray signal intensities outside of the parental range (AHP or BLP, respectively)
  3. ***Subset of DE genes with microarray signal intensities significantly outside of the parental range (based on one-tailed t-tests)
