Transient activation of PSY promoters by apple AP2/ERF domain (AP2D) transcription factors. a. Alignment of ‘Royal Gala’ PSY1 and PSY2 promoters conducted using ClustalW in Geneious. Highlighting (black) indicate nucleotide similarity. RAP2.2 motifs are indicated by black (PSY1) and grey (PSY2) bars. b. Ratio of fluorescent signals measured from Nicotiana benthamiana leaves co-infiltrated with Agrobacterium constructs with AP2/ERF genes and a vector with firefly luciferase (LUC) under control of PSY promoter and Renilla luciferase (REN) under the control of CaMV 35S promoter. LUC/REN signal ratios were normalised to the basal promoter activity. Bars represent means ± SE (n = 4). Fisher's least significant difference (LSD) at P < 0.05 is shown
