FIGURE 3.
Expression of MaSSI, MaSSII, MaSSIII-1, and MaSSIII-2 genes in different banana tissues (A) and in fruit at different stages of development and after various storage times (B). The y-axis represents the relative fold-difference in mRNA level, which was calculated using the 2-ΔΔCt formula with MaActin and MaGAPDH as internal controls. The vertical bars represent the mean ± SD of three replicates. Asterisks indicate significant difference from 0 DAF and 0 DPH vs. the following days (∗p < 0.05; ∗∗p < 0.01).
