Table II.
Genes showing significant expression changes in the flavedo of the wild type and the nan stay-green mutant at all three stages studied: mature green (180 DPA), breaker (224 DPA), and ripe (248 DPA) stages
Differences in gene expression of at least 2-fold (P ≤ 0.001) in each of three replicates were considered to be statistically significant.
