Identification of highly coordinated genes within the Asp-family and aromatic amino acid metabolic networks. Clustering of the entire set of biological perturbations having a significant effect on at least one of the highly coordinated genes (HCGs) of either the Asp-family or the aromatic amino acids networks based on their effects on the expression of the Asp-family network HCGs. The dendrogram on the left shows the Euclidian distance tree, while the heat map in the center shows the response of the different HCGs to the different biological perturbations that are indicated on the right. The color scale bar is indicated on the bottom. Abbreviation of specific biological perturbations: ASD, adding sucrose in the dark; (s), shoot; (r), root; CBC, Conidiospores of Botrytis cinerea; EO, Erysiphe orontii; PID, Phytophthora infestans drops; PSA, Pseudomonas syringae pv tomato avrRpm1; PSD, Pseudomonas syringae pv tomato DC3000; PSDH, Pseudomonas syringae pv tomato DC3000 hrcC-; PSP, Pseudomonas syringae pv phaseolicola.
