Figure 3.
Spatial temporal transcriptional analysis of genes associated with anthocyanin biosynthesis in four cultivars of R. sativus using qRT-PCR. Four tissues were used: the leaf (L), young root (R), flesh (F) and skin (S). Relative gene expression levels were normalized against actin transcript levels. Values connected by the same letter within the same gene and data collection point are not significantly different at P ≤ 0.05. The transcriptional levels of the same gene in the leaf and root tissues at 10, 30, and 50 DAS are expressed on the y axes while radish genotypes are expressed on the x axis.
