Relative quantity of transcript levels in response to long-term cold storage, ripening, as well as the combination of these two factors. The qPCR data was obtained by analyzing the transcript level of contigs 30, 438, 1123, 2715, 2980 and 3870) under four post-harvest conditions, normalized against a gene which did not demonstrate significant variations in transcript levels (Dehydrogenase/GMP reductase, contig 2766). Graphed qPCR data represents the mean transcript level of three or four individual fruits ± the standard error. E1 = non-ripe; no long-term cold storage = R^-, C^-; E2 = ripe; no long-term cold storage = R⁺, C^-; E3 = non-ripe; long-term cold storage = R^-, C⁺; E4 = ripe: long-term cold storage = R⁺, C⁺. contig30: Wcor; contig438: dormancy-associated protein (DRM1); contig1123: polygalacturonase; contig2715: luminal binding protein 1 (BIP-1); contig 2980: temperature-induced lipocalin (TIL) and contig 3870: lipoxygenase.
