GO terms represented differently in SSH experiments comparing aposymbiotic ovaries (A) and symbiotic ovaries (S) in two different populations. SSH1 was performed in the Pi3 strain in which females do not produce eggs (tissue: distal part of the ovaries). SSH2+MOS was performed in the NA strain in which females produce a small number of ‘abnormal’ eggs (tissue: whole ovaries).
