Transcription analyses of parthenocarpy-specialized DEPs in different types of parthenocarpic fruits. Ovaries of ‘EC1’ and ‘8419 s-1’ were treated by hormones and hormone inhibitors separately as described in the materials and methods section. Thus, different types of parthenocarpic fruits were induced (Table 1, Additional file 1: Figure S1). Transcription analysis was conducted by quantitative real-time PCR. Transcriptional profiles of the two groups of parthenocarpy-specialized DEPs in different types of parthenocarpic fruits were clustered. The experiment was repeated three times. Each value represents the mean ± SE of three replicates
