Relative expression levels of CoACO genes in C. oleifera ‘Huashuo’ tissues by qRT-PCR. (a,b) qRT-PCR analysis of CoACO1 and CoACO2 expression, respectively, in young fruits (F), roots (R), stems (S), leaves (L), fruit pedicles (FP) and fruit abscission zones (FAZ). CoEF-1a was used as an internal control. Three biological replicates for each sample were averaged. Error bars indicate the s.d. of the means (n = 3). One-way ANOVA (Tukey post hoc test) analysis was performed, and statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) were indicated by different letters.
