Fig 3. Expressions of key ABA metabolism genes in center flesh, mesocarp and placenta.
Expression levels of Cla009779 (ClNCED), Cla005404 (ClNCED), Cla005457 (ClCYP707A), Cla020673 (ClCYP707A) and Cla016011 (ClCYP707A) in the center flesh (A, B, C, D, E), mesocarp (F, G, H, I, J) and placenta (K, L, M, N, O) of 97103, PI179878 and PI296341-FR during watermelon fruit development and ripening. Standard errors are indicated. * indicates expression values that are significantly different at the 0.01 level compared to PI196341-FR at each developmental stage.
