Filtering of temporally FIT-induced genes using scatterplot analysis of log2 fold changes of gene expression in the respective comparisons in seedlings (a and b) and roots (c and d). The blue dots represent genes that did not match the requirement and were removed in the subsequent step. The yellow dots represent gene expression patterns that matched the requirements and which were used as the input for the subsequent pattern analysis. The respective zero-points are indicated by red crosshairs. The genes filtered in a were used as input in b. The genes filtered in c were used as input in d. The yellow dots in b and d represent FIT-induced genes in six-day-old seedlings (b) (Additional file 5: Table S3) and in roots of sic-week-old plants (d) (Additional file 5: Table S4). The filtering steps 1 and 2 as well as 3 and 4 are combined in one graph, respectively
