Expression profiles analysis of 5 ClKINs genes during the early fruit development in Chinese watermelon line 97,103 of round and medium-size fruit shape. a The morphological characteristics of the watermelon fruits at different days after pollination. 3, 5 and 9 DAP respectively display the days after pollination. b The expression levels analysis from the 5 ClKINs genes specifically or abundantly expressed in the early fruit development, especially in the fruit at 1DAP. The standard deviations of three biological replicates are represented by the error bars
