Spatio-temporal expression patterns of CaEXPAs. A. Expression patterns of 19 of the 21 CaEXPA genes. Transcript abundance of each CaEXPA gene in every tissue and fruit developmental time-point was normalized to its expression at 7 DAA, except CaEXPA21, which was normalized to its expression in young leaf. Transcripts of CaEXPA1 and CaEXPA11 were not detectable by qRT-PCR. B. Expression patterns of CaEXPAs in root and stem. Only four out of the 21 CaEXPA genes were expressed in root and stem tissue. Transcript abundance of all 4 genes were normalized to that of CaEXPA10 in root. Tissues are displayed vertically and CaEXPA genes horizontally. Color scale from green to red indicates lower and higher transcript abundance, respectively. Expression is presented in a Log2 scale
