Fold changes for buds were determined by comparing the gene expression of ecodormant buds to endodormant buds (‘Eco to Endo’), and fold changes for seeds were determined by comparing the gene expression of 21-day C seeds to 1-day C seeds (‘21d C to 1d C’). Common genes were then identified between buds and seeds. The Arabidopsis Information Resource (TAIR) IDs represent Arabidopsis genes used to annotate homologues of leafy spurge transcripts. Unpaired two-sample t-tests were performed; symbol “*” represents genes at a p-value < 0.1, and “**” represents genes at a p-value < 0.05.
