Comparison of transcriptome datasets between kiwifruit samples exposed to propylene and during storage. a Venn diagram for the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in response to propylene and during storage at 5 °C. DEGs were selected based on a discriminatory criterion of > 3–fold change between propylene–treated/harvest, and 5 °C/20 °C samples. b A heat map showing the expression pattern of DEGs in kiwifruit at harvest (Day 0), after exposure to propylene for five days, and after storage at 20 °C and 5 °C with 1–MCP treatment for four weeks
