Venn diagram of 176 induced 2x-ESTs. Venn diagram showing the overlapping and stage-specific genes up-regulated in flesh tissue of watermelon fruit at three stages of development; green (12-days after pollination), pink (24-days after pollination) and red (36-days after pollination). Eighty-nine genes were expressed at all stages of development; some genes were stage specific (green 23; pink 10; and red 15) while others were overlapping in two stages (for gene identity see Figure 4 and Additional File 3).
