From: Metabolic and transcriptional elucidation of the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway in peel and flesh tissue of loquat fruit during on-tree development

Fig. 4

Heat map of the relative expression levels of carotenoid biosynthesis genes (DXS, DXR, PSY1, PDS, ZDS, CRTISO, LCYB, CYCB, LCYE, BCH, ECH, ZEP and VDE) in loquat fruit (cv. ‘Obusa’), both in the peel and in the flesh, during five on-tree developmental stages (S2-S6) (n = 3). Relative mRNA abundance was evaluated by real-time RT-PCR using three biological repeats. Up-regulation is indicated in green; down-regulation is indicated in red. A diagonal line in a box indicates a statistically significant value (P ≤ 0.05). A scale of colour intensity is presented as a legend. The first developmental stage (S1) both for the peel and the flesh was used for calibrating gene exeression values. Actual relative expression levels are shown in Additional file 1: Tables S5-S6 and Figs. S2-S3
