Figure 6From: Olive phenolic compounds: metabolic and transcriptional profiling during fruit developmentThe expression of transcripts putatively involved in the biosynthesis of terpenes and sterols. The mRNA expression of genes putatively involved in the biosynthesis of volatile monoterpenes (A), tri-terpenoids and sterols (B), di- and tetra-terpenoids (C), as determined using RT-qPCR, and a schematic representation of this pathway. IPP: Isopentenyl diphosphate; GPP: Geranyl diphosphate; GES: geraniol synthase; LS: Limonene synthase; FPP: Farnesyl diphosphate; FPPS: FPP synthase; GGPP: Geranyl geranyl pyrophosphate; GGPS: GGPP synthase; SQS: Squalene synthase; LUPS: Lupeol synthase. The relative mRNA levels are expressed as ΔΔCt. Bars = ±SE, n = 3. Different letters indicate significant differences between samples as determined using analysis of variance (Bonferroni’s post hoc tests, P < 0.05).Back to article page
