Expression profiles of the Mal d 1 genes in the peel and flesh of apple fruits. The genes were grouped into subfamilies and reported according to the order obtained in the phenetic tree. The branches of the phenetic trees for each subfamily (I-V) are reported on the left. The underlined genes were not expressed (charts not reported: subfamily II was not reported because none of its genes were expressed). The green bars indicate the results for ‘Florina’, and the orange bars indicate the results for ‘Gala’. The expression levels were normalised in respect to actin and reported in Arbitrary Units (A.U.). Each data point is the average of the final expression values of two biological replicates.
