Dynamic changes in MaMADS-box genes expression in peel tissue during ripening. The expression was determined in fruit from the upper hand according to details described in Fig. 2. An increase in CO2 production appeared 6 d after harvest (DAH) (broken arrow) and the ethylene peak in these fruits was detected at 10 DAH (full arrow). Results are of a representative experiment, and represent an average of three repetitions ±SD.
