Fig. 8. Analysis of genes and metabolites related to scald development in ‘Blanquilla’ pears.

Fig. 8

Expression profile of genes related to the ascorbate/glutathione pathway (APX, DHAR, and MDHAR), oxidation of polyphenolic compounds (PPO), or biosynthesis of polyphenolic compounds (PAL) in untreated “Blanquilla” pears at harvest, and untreated (control) or treated fruit (1-MCP, ethylene (ET), or lovastatin) after 4 months of cold storage, and after 4 months of cold storage plus 5 days of ripening at 20 °C (SL). The error bars represent the standard error of the mean-normalized expression (panel a). 2D-PCA plot representing the whole variance among the different treatments based on their phenolic compound profile (panel b). Content of total phenolic compounds and chlorogenic acid in untreated “Blanquilla” pears at harvest, and untreated (CT) or treated fruit (1-MCP, ethylene (ET), or lovastatin) after 4 months of cold storage, and after 4 months of cold storage plus 5 days of ripening at 20 °C (SL) (panel c). Values represent the average ± standard deviation (n = 3). Different letters above each column in panels a and c indicate significant differences between treatments for each specific sampling (4 m or 4 m+SL). Absence of letters indicates no significant differences between treatments
