Figure 7From: Interactions between ethylene and auxin are crucial to the control of grape (Vitis vinifera L.) berry ripeningExpression profiles of selected auxin and ethylene biosynthesis genes throughout Shiraz berry development. The development of field-grown Shiraz berries was documented by changes in (A) TSS, (B) berry weight and (C) anthocyanin (A520 nm) accumulation. (D) Between 3–16 wpf the expression of TAR1-TAR4, YUC1, ACS1 and ACO1 was analysed by qRT-PCR. “v” indicates veraison as determined by the last time point before a significant increase (ANOVA followed by Duncan’s post hoc test) in TSS levels was recorded. All data represent means ± SE (n = 3) and for the gene expression data LSD values were determined at the p < 0.05 significance level.Back to article page
