Spatiotemporal real-time PCR expression analysis of PSY genes in banana fruit tissues. Transcript expression profiles are presented in unripe/ripe -pulp (A) and -peel (B) of Rasthali and Nendran cultivars. The gene expression was normalized with reference to actin1 taken as internal control. Bars denote mean fold expression as compared to the lowest expressing gene in the group of samples ± SD. Statistical analysis was performed using Student's paired t-test. Statistical significance was checked at P ≤ 0.05–0.001 (^**P ≤ 0.001; ^***P ≤ 0.0001) with respect to the unripe- versus ripe-pulp/peel of Rasthali and Nendran.
