Figure 7.
Effects of sucrose on the expression of genes encoding flavonoid and anthocyanin biosynthetic enzymes in strawberry. Expression patterns of DEGs were represented by a log2 FPKM value and showed as a heat map at the side of each step. CK represents the control fruits treated with water, Suc represents experimental fruits at the 8th day after sucrose treatment. PAL: phenylalanine ammonia-lyase; 4CL: 4-coumarate-CoA ligase; CHS: chalcone synthase; CHI: chalcone-flavonone isomerase; F3H: flavanone 3-hydroxylase; FLS: flavonol synthase; DFR: dihydroflavonol-4-reductase; ANS: anthocyanidin synthase; UFGT: flavonoid 3-O-glucosyltransferase.
