Identification LbaBBX genes related to carotenoid biosynthesis. (a) Fruits of Lycium barbarum var. auranticarpum at different stages of development. S1, S2, S3, S4, and S5 period represent 12, 19, 25, 30, and 37 days after full bloom (DAF), respectively. Scale bars represent 1 cm. (b) Trends in carotenoids (zeaxanthin, antheraxanthin, β–cryptoxanthin and lutein palmitate) at five developmental stages. The data contain the averages and standard deviations of three individual replicates. Asterisks indicate a significant difference (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001) compared with S1 at the different time points during development. (c) Correlation analysis was constructed using the expression levels of LbaBBX genes and carotenoids content in five different developmental stages. The blue color means negative correlation, the red color means positive correlation. Asterisks indicate a significant difference (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001).
