At elevated CO2, both clones differed in their temperature responses by 13%%, where the highest Chl a/b ratio was at ambient temperature for the DK clone and at elevated temperature for the ALG clone.
Both clones differed in several point mutations and, in addition, an 18 bp deletion was found for the clone HlMyb2 in comparison with the original database sequence [GenBank: AB292245].
It is noteworthy that intron sequences in both TAR clones differed in length from the intron sequence of the annotated genes.
The LDL clones differed in several herb related agronomic characteristics such as plant height, herb yield, canopy size and number of branches per plant from the parental type as well as from the parent, which seems advantageous for commercial exploitation of such clones.
However, the clones differed in their degree of "autoreactivity" (Supplementary Figure S1) and in the magnitude of cytokines they were able to secrete, i.e. the DN or the CD8α+ clones systematically produced maximal amounts that were lower than the amounts produced by the CD4+ clones (Figure2, Supplementary Figure S2/S3 and data not shown).
As α27 and α42 clones differed in terms of in vivo cell growth, we decided to compare their transcriptome using oligoGEArrays focused on cell cycle regulators.
More specifically, the three Salix clones differed in their attraction to A. nemorum; the S. cinerea clone was significantly more attractive than the S. viminalis clone while the S. dasyclados clone did not differ from the other two.
Clones differed in total and peak parasite density, in agreement with previous work [ 32], but the effect of IL-10R blockade on parasite load did not vary across clones.
All clones showed increased expression of ZNF703, as would be predicted; however, the clones differed in the extent and degree of copy number-associated overexpression of neighboring genes in the region.
The cell clones differed in morphology (fibroblast- or epithelial cell-like), cell size, colony formation (clearly defined or frayed), colony compactness (cell-to-cell distance), growth rate and lifespan.
Hybrid clones differed in regeneration, growth and impact, and there was also great variation in regeneration and impact among different clones of F. sachalinensis, as well as variation in regeneration and growth, but not impact, among different clones of F. japonica.
