Overexpression of PSY1-circ1 in Ailsa Craig. (a) Fruits of different PSY1-circ1 overexpression tomato lines. OE3-OE28 stand for transgenic lines. Vector control stands for Ailsa Craig (AC) plants transformed with the empty vector pCAMBIA1301. (b) Lycopene and β-carotene contents in transgenic tomato fruits at breaker +10 stage. White, black and gray bars stand for control, transgenic lines with red fruits and yellow fruits respectively. The data with error bars were expressed as mean ± SEM (Standard Error of the Mean, n = 4), asterisks indicate statistically significant difference (with respect to control; *p value < 0.05; **p value < 0.01; two-way ANOVA followed by LSD (Least Significant Difference) test). (c) Expression profile of PSY1-circ1, linear RNAs generated by the overexpression vector, and PSY1 gene in transgenic tomato fruits at different ripening stages. The data are normalized to Actin and presented as means ± SD (n = 5).
