Ethylene biosynthesis and softening of Mondial Gala apple. Panel (a) shows ethylene evolution during fruit maturation and ripening. The solid and dashed lines indicate ethylene released by the control samples and the samples treated with 1-MCP, respectively. Asterisks denote samples used in the microarray experiment. Standard error bars are shown; letters denote statistical differences based on ANOVA LSD test (P = 0.05). Panel (b) shows fruit softening during maturation and ripening. Black bars indicate firmness for control samples; grey bars indicate samples treated with 1-MCP. Standard error bars are shown; letters denote samples that are statistically different based on ANOVA LSD test (P = 0.05). Panel (c) lists the samples used in the HET and HOM microarray hybridizations. Abbreviations: Ctrl, control; 1-MCP, 1-Methylcyclopropene.
