Figure 5. Expression profiles of watermelon NAC TFs in different tissues and at different fruit developmental stages.
(A) RT-PCR analyses of NAC TFs in seven watermelon tissues. R: root; S: stem apex; L: young leaf; T: tendril; FL: flower; F: young fruit; SD: seed. CIYLS8 was used as the control. (B) The transcript levels of NAC TFs in watermelon vascular tissues. Numbers on the vertical axis represent the normalized expression (FPKM) of 50 NAC TFs in watermelon vascular tissues. (C) Expression profiles of watermelon NAC TFs across different fruit developmental stages. The scale representing the relative signal intensity values is shown above. DAP: Days After Pollination.
