Expression analysis of auxin transcriptional regulators. Expression of the transcriptional regulators ARF and Aux/IAA class of genes are clustered according to expression patterns over fruit development, grouped by hierarchical clustering, normalised to maximum expression of each gene. Five stages of fruit development (0: fruit set, 1: cell division, 2: cell expansion, 3: fruit maturation and 4: fruit ripening) are represented by fruit harvested at 0, 14, 45, 90, 132 Days After Full Bloom (DAFB). Asterisks represent primer pairs unable to distinguish between homeologous genes. The expression patterns of selected genes within the cluster are also presented. Expression is relative to actin, with error bars representing 4 replicates.
