FIGURE 6.

ACC treatment showed a more obvious effect in accelerating ripening in transgenic fruit. (A) More obvious color change in OE fruits after ACC treatment for 96 h. (B) Relative expression of ethylene and ripening relate gene (E4, E8, ACO1, ACO3 and ACS2) in WT and OE fruit after ACC treatment for 96 h. The quantitative PCR data represent mean values for three independent biological replicates (n = 3). ^∗∗Refers to significant differences between transgenic lines and WT with P < 0.01 determined by t-test.
