Expression of Tc-MYBPA, TcANR, TcANS and TcLAR genes and accumulation of PAs in pod exocarp of Theobroma cacao (Amelonado) during pod development (from 8 to 20 weeks after pollination). a Transcript levels of Tc-MYBPA, TcANR, TcANS and TcLAR. Expression was determined by semi-quantitative RT-PCR and was calculated relative to the expression of TcActin in each sample. b Levels of total soluble PAs expressed as mg PAs per g of fresh weight. c Levels of total insoluble PAs expressed as μg PAs per g of fresh weight. All data are presented as means ± SE, for gene expression data, n ≥ 3, for PA level data, n ≥ 5. FW, Fresh weight
