A comparison of the expression profiles of selected gene candidates in the AZ during ethylene induced abscission (ET), natural abscission (NA) that occurs in the field and in the AZ fruit that remain attached to the fruit bunch and are not shed (Non-S). The NA column includes samples from 30, 120 and 160 DAP. The ET column includes profiles of statistically significant candidates expressed preferentially in the AZ during ethylene induced abscission (0, 3 h, 6 h and 9 h of treatment). Expression profiles of many candidates in the AZ during ethylene induced and natural abscission (column ET and NA) are opposite to that found in the non-shedding fruit AZ. Normal backcross (IM and R) eventually shed their fruit, while the non-shedding backcross (RNS columns) do not. Results of the expression profile from qPCR shown by the heat map with the highest peak of expression calculated as 1.
