Fruit compression (A), puncture (B), and relative abundance of transcripts involved in cell wall modification (C-H) during fruit ripening in ‘Suziblue’ and ‘Powderblue’. Values represent means and standard errors of at least three replicates. ANOVA was used to test for significance (α = 0.05) among stages within a cultivar and mean separation was performed using Tukey’s HSD. Means followed by different letter are significantly different with upper and lower case for ‘Suziblue’ and ‘Powderblue’ respectively.
