There is substantial overlap in DEGs through time for cortex and peel. Proportional VENN Diagrams (www.biovenn.nl) showing: (A) Differential gene expression of the cortical tissues at 3m from internal fruit is largely a subset of differentially expressed gene from external canopy positions, (B) Differential gene expression of the peel tissues at 3m from internal fruit is proportional to external fruit, with substantial overlap. This suggests that the contrasting light environment of the two canopy positions has a larger effect on peel tissues, yet despite significant fruit flesh quality differences, DEGs from internal cortex is largely a subset of external DEGs. Significant differential expression was determined by Bonferroni corrected P < 0.05.
