Effect of 16/8 h photoperiodic white light treatment on the expression of carotenoid biosynthetic genes VmPSY (a), VmPDS (b), VmZDS (c), VmCRTISO (d), VmLCYB (e), VmBCH (f), VmLCYE (g) and VmCYP450-BCH (h) in unripe (stage S3) and ripe (stage S5) bilberry fruits. The relative expression of the genes was quantified by qRT-PCR and normalized to VmGAPDH. Values represent means ± SEs of three replicates. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences from respective control (dark treatment) in Student’s t-Test (P ≤ 0.05)
