Fig. 5From: Characterization of pectin methylesterase gene family and its possible role in juice sac granulation in navel orange (Citrus sinensis Osbeck)Expression patterns of CsPMEs in ‘Lane late’ navel range at different juice sac granulation levels. a ‘Lane late’ navel orange fruits of four juice sac granulation levels, including non-granulation (CK), slight granulation (GR1), moderate granulation (GR2), and serious granulation (GR3). b Differentially expressed CsPMEs at different juice sac granulation levels from transcriptome data. The color scale of heatmap represents the log2-transformed FPKM values. c qRT-PCR verification of the expression patterns of juice sac granulation-related CsPMEs. CsEF1 and β-actin were used as internal controls, and three biological replicates were performed. All data were shown as means ± SE of three biological replicates. Bars with different lowercase letters indicated significant differences (p < 0.05 of one-way ANOVA in SPSS software)Back to article page
