G4-motif carrying genes are more likely to be transcriptionally upregulated during hypoxia, and are modulated by glucose as hypoxia progresses. Top: Venn diagrams showing the shared and distinct number of G4 genes modulated by low (LG; 0.2% w/v, pink) and abundant glucose (AG; 2% w/v, blue) in maize root tips during hypoxia. Bottom: Line graphs show the proportion of G4 motifs among the total number of differentially-expressed genes during hypoxia in maize root tips treated with either low (LG) or abundant glucose (AG). The blue line reflects the average percentage of maize genes containing G4 motifs. Image was adapted from Fig. 5A of Sanclemente et al. (2020).
