Effect of 16/8 h photoperiodic white light treatment on the expression of carotenoid cleavage genes VmCCD1 (a) and VmNCED1 (b) 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)
