Changes in the respiration and ethylene emission during ripening in wild-type (WT) and transgenic fruit. Total respiration (A), CN-insensitive respiration (B), and ethylene production (C) were measured at the B (breaker), T (turning), P (pink), and R (red) stage in WT and transgenic fruit. (D and E) Quantitative RT-PCR analyses of the transcript levels of ethylene synthesis- (LeACS2, LeACS4, LeACO1, and LeACO4) and ethylene signal transduction- (NR, LeETR4, LeEIL3 and LeERF1) related genes at the P stage. Data are the means ±SD of three independent experiments. The asterisks indicate statistically significant differences between the WT and transgenic fruit (P < 0.05).
