Figure 8From: Transcriptomics of shading-induced and NAA-induced abscission in apple (Malus domestica) reveals a shared pathway involving reduced photosynthesis, alterations in carbohydrate transport and signaling and hormone crosstalkExpression of genes related to photosynthesis and sugar availability as determined by RT-qPCR. Gene expression in leaf from 'Golden Delicious' apple trees after application of NAA. The values of transcript levels in the leaf from control trees were arbitrarily set to 1. The transcript levels were normalized using actin. Results represent the mean (± SE) of three replicates.Back to article page
