Fold changes in transcription of the MEP pathway, including carotenogenesis genes, observed in fruits of hp-2^dg/hp-2^dg mutant plants relative to their normal counterparts

The data generated by microarray are normal font while the data from qRT-PCR are in bold. Ripening stages: MG, Mature green; B, breaker; R, red. Statistical significance: ^ns, Statistically insignificant; ^a, P(t) < 0.001; ^b, 0.001 ≤ P(t) < 0.01; ^c, 0.01 ≤ P(t) < 0.05.
