Alteration of FaABI1 expression affects several physiological parameters and FaNCED1 transcripts in RNAi and OE fruit. The physiological parameters included (A) fruit firmness, (B) anthocyanin contents, (C) solid soluble concentrations, and (D) ABA contents. (E) FaNCED1 transcripts in control and OE fruit. RNAi, FaABI1-silenced fruit, in which FaABI1 was down-regulated by 50%; OE, FaABI1-overexpressing fruit, in which FaABI1 was up-regulated by 60%. The error bars represent the standard error (n=3). Different letters indicate statistically significant differences at P < 0.05 as determined by Duncan’s test.
