Figure 7
qRT-PCR analysis of 14 randomly selected genes in fruits from control (orange bars) and shaded (grey bars) trees. Genes up-regulated and down-regulated by shading treatment. EF-1α was used as a reference gene for normalization of gene-expression data. Data show expression of a gene relative to its expression at 1 day after treatment in control fruits. Error bars indicate standard errors of the means (n=3). Bars with different lower-case letters indicate significant differences based on a t-test at the P ≤0.05 level. CHI: Chitinase; TNL1: Thioredoxin-like 1; AS: Asparagine synthase; SAMDC: S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase; LL-DAP-AT: LL-diaminopimelate aminotransferase; FFU: β-fructofuranosidase; UBCE2: Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2; GH3: Indole-3-acetic acid-amido synthetase; PMEI: Invertase/pectin methylesterase inhibitor; ACL: ATP citrate lyase; MYB: MYB family transcription factor; MSL: Mannose/ glucose-specific lectin; POD1: Peroxidase 1; GLU: Endo-β-1, 3- glucosidase.
