Effect of SlFERL1-VIGS (virus-induced gene silencing) on tomato fruit development and ripening. (A) The influence of SlFERL1-VIGS on the expression of the other SlFERLs. RT-qPCR was conducted using SlACTIN as an internal control. Values are means + SD of three biological replicates. Double asterisks denote a significant difference at P < 0.01 using Student's t-test. (B) The influence of SlFERL1-VIGS on the time course of tomato fruit development and ripening. (C) Effect of SlFERL1-VIGS on tomato fruit ethylene production.
