Fruit firmness (A,B) and lignin content (C,D) of FaCCR-. FaCAD-. FaPOD-downregulation and -upregulation as well as combinations in F. × ananassa cv. Calypso (CHS). (A) Firmness of Calypso (CHS; n = 15), control fruits (CHS/pBI-intron; n = 17), down-regulated fruits (CHS/pBI-FaCCRi; n = 14, CHS/pBI-FaCADi; n = 14, CHS/pBI-FaPODi; n = 17), and combined three genes (CHS/pBI-Si3; n = 15). (B) Firmness of Calypso (CHS, n = 15), control fruits (CHS/pBI-intron; n = 17), up-regulated fruits (CHS/pBI-FaCCR; n = 14, CHS/pBI-FaCAD; n = 17, CHS/pBI-FaPOD; n = 15), and combined three genes (CHS/pBI-O3; n = 18). (C,D) Lignin content of each group (n = 5). The Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney U-test was used for non-parametric analysis of two groups. One asterisk (*) or a plus (+) in the box marks statistically significant increased levels (P < 0.05) in comparison with CHS and another group (indicated by *), or in comparison with CHS/pBI-intron and another group (indicated by +).
