Fig 11. Altered firmness in SlARF2AB-RNAi fruits.

Fig 11

(A) Firmness of wild-type and SlARF2AB-RNAi fruits. Fruits were harvested at breaker stage, kept at room temperate and firmness was measured day by day. A total of 15 fruits were used for each measurement and the error bars represent ±SD. AB1 = SlARF2AB-RNAi line 311; AB2 = SlARF2AB-RNAi line 223. (B) Quantitative RT-PCR relative expression of polygalacturonase gene PG2A at different ripening stages in SlARF2AB-RNAi and wild type fruits (breaker, Br; Br+2, 2 d post-breaker; Br+8, 8 d post-breaker). Relative mRNA levels in WT at the breaker (Br) stage were standardized to 1.0, referring to SlActin gene as internal control. Error bars represent ±SD of three biological replicates. Stars indicate a statistical significance using Student’s t-test: * p-value<0.05, ** p-value<0.01. ABL1 is SlARF2AB-RNAi line 311.
