Relative expression profiles of monolignol biosynthesis genes in vegetative tissues, flowers, and fruit developmental stages of F. × ananassa cv. Elsanta. Total RNA was isolated from (A) fruit developmental stages at small green (SG), green white (GW), white (W), turning (T), and red (R) after pollination. (B) Expression levels of vegetative tissues (leaf; stem; runner; root), flower (F) and fruit developmental stages (SG, GW, W, T, and R) were monitored by qRT-PCR. FaCCR. FaCAD. FaPOD and FaPOD27 (Ring et al., 2013) were target genes. The white fruit was used as the reference with one for each graph. Values are mean ± SE of 5–6 replicates from two sets of cDNAs and are shown as relative changes.
