qRT results for γ-decalactone gene candidates tested against an ‘Elyana’ developmental fruit series. Three stages of fruit were tested (green expanding, blushing, and full red, ripe). The γ-decalactone phenotype is only detectable in fully ripe fruit. Only comparisons between blushing and ripe developmental stages are shown. The FaFAD1 and CYTp450 genes show ~21-fold and ~11-fold (respectively) ripening induction in ‘Elyana’. Data are from three technical replicates with error bars representing standard deviations.
