BR suppresses apple fruit ripening. A–E, Apple fruit were collected on the day of commercial harvest (145 DAFB), treated with EBR, and then stored at room temperature for 25 d (A). Ethylene production was measured (B), and the expression levels of MdBZR1 (C), MdACO1 (D), and MdACS1 (E) were investigated by RT-qPCR. Bars 1 cm. F–J, Apple fruit were collected on the day of commercial harvest, treated with Brz, and then stored at room temperature for 20 d (F). Ethylene production was measured (G), and the expression levels of MdBZR1 (H), MdACO1 (I), and MdACS1 (J) were investigated by RT-qPCR. Bar 1 cm. Untreated, fruit not receiving any treatment; EBR, fruit treated with EBR. Brz, fruit treated with Brz. Numbers under the x-axis indicate the number of days of storage at room temperature after harvest; 0 indicates the fruit harvested on the day of commercial harvest. Three biological replicates were analyzed as described in the Methods section. Values represent means ± se. Statistical significance was determined using a Student’s t test (**P < 0.01).
