Transcript levels from real-time PCR analysis of selected genes across varying stages of fruit ripening (green, white, pink, and blue/ripe fruit stages). A. Transcript levels of five genes (PL: pectate lyase; CPP: cysteine protease-like protein; GLP: glutathione peroxidase; CHS: chalcone synthase; ANS: anthocyanidin synthase) whose expression levels appeared to peak at the pink fruit stage based on their number of reads from each of the berry libraries. B. Transcript levels of three genes (ASP: aspartic proteinase; 1-AC: 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate oxidase; F3H: flavonoid 3-hydroxylase) whose expression levels appeared to peak at the blue fruit stage based on their number of reads from each of the berry libraries.
