Table 1

Signature comparisons. Similarity score comparisons for independently derived query signatures for cold at 3 h, 6 h, and 24 h [42]; UV-B [41]; heat alone, drought alone, and heat and drought applied simultaneously; scanned against the reference signature database. The most similar scores per treatment are bolded. The top row represents time in (h) for stress treatment duration of the reference signature.
