Figure 4

QPCR validation of papaya ripening-related gene expression. Real-time PCR was used to analyse the expression patterns of putative genes during papaya ripening with days after harvest. Column height indicates relative mRNA abundance; expression values in unripe fruit at the first day after harvest were set to 1. All data were normalised to the actin and 18S expression levels. Error bars on each column indicate SDs from four technical replicates. Asterisks represent samples that were not significantly different compared to the first day after harvest using one-way ANOVA and the Tukey test (α<0.05, n=4). Different boxes represent each issue pointed in the Discussion (Primary metabolism, Transcriptional regulation, Cell wall-related genes, Response to stress and plant defence).
