Figure 5

LcHSL2 is expressed in the fruit AZ and is increased during the ETH-induced fruitlet abscission in litchi. (A) LcHSL2 is predominantly expressed in the fruit AZ of litchi. Top right corner shows the fruit abscission zone (AZ), distal, and proximal regions of the litchi fruit peduncle. Different letters indicate significant differences as determined using Ducan’s multiple range test (p < 0.05). (B) Ethephon (ETH)-induced fruitlet abscission in litchi. The results are the means of three biological replicates. Error bars represent ± SE. Asterisks indicate a significant difference (Student’s t-test: p < 0.05 indicated by *; p < 0.01 indicated by **). (C) LcHSL2 expression is increased following the ETH-induced fruitlet abscission. The y-axis represents fold-change in expression relative to the control at 0 day, which was set to 1. Data represent the average of three biological replicates with three technical replicates each. Error bars represent ± SE. Asterisks indicate a significant difference (Student’s t-test: p < 0.01 indicated by **).
