Relative expression of ARF, ERF, brassinosteroid signalling pathway genes from strawberry in achenes and receptacle of fruits at three developmental stages, evaluated by QRT-PCR. RNA was extracted separately from achenes and receptacle of strawberry fruits at three developmental stages corresponding to green, white and red receptacle, as previously described [79]. Real time quantitative PCR was performed as described in the Methods sections. The values are the results of two biological and three technical repetitions ± standard error.
