Table 6 Pgt genes that are associated with sRNAs up-regulated in germinated spores and their functional GO term enrichment. We assessed GO term enrichments of the annotated molecular function of Pgt genes that are associated with sRNAs compared to all other Pgt genes (FDR < 0.00001). The top ten categories with the lowest FDR are shown
