Effects of CaMYB31 gene silencing on biosynthetic structural gene expression and on capsaicinoid content in fruits of chili pepper. A, qRT-PCR analysis of capsaicinoid biosynthetic genes and CaMYB31 in fruits of chili pepper plants infected with the viral construct pTRV2-CaMYB31 compared with uninfected control plants. B, HPLC analysis of capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin in fruits of uninfected plants and pTRV2- and pTRV2-CaMYB31-infected plants. The data points are means of three biological replicates ± sd. Asterisks indicate significant differences between the control (uninfected) and infected plants (P ≤ 0.05; Tukey’s test).
