Figure 5.

Changes in the expression levels of the genes that encode lipid desaturases (A) and the lipases (B) that occur in response to heat (H, 3 days at 37°C), cold (C, 20 days at 2°C), and the heat+cold combination (3 days at 37°C + 20 days at 2°C). Values were obtained by comparing the changes in expression levels that occurred in response to heat plus cold (HC) or cold (C) to the expression levels of the freshly harvested (FH) fruits, and by also comparing the expression levels between the heat-conditioned cold-stored fruits (HC) and the cold-stored non-conditioned fruits (C). Unigenes are indicated at the top of each graph. The asterisk indicates statistically differences in each comparison according to SAM (FDR-adjusted p-value < 0.01).
