Mutant SlCMT4 lines had increased transcript levels of ripening-related genes. a–d FPKM (fragments per kilobase of transcript per million mapped reads) values of fruit ripening-related genes based on RNA-seq data in WT and mutant lines (B stage). e–h Relative transcription levels of fruit ripening-related genes by qRT–PCR in WT and mutant lines. Each value represents the mean ± standard deviation of three replicates. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences relative to WT, determined using t-tests. ^*P < .05, ^**P < .01.
