^aOnly the cis-elements putatively bound by the transcription factor types or related ones (Additional file 3), whose expression was regulated by OsWRKY13, were analyzed.
^bP-values < 0.05 (chi-square test and corrected for multiple comparisons using the Bonferroni correction) in each category are indicated with an asterisk.
