Figure Lengend Snippet: Abundance of transcripts of KD1 downstream genes. Total RNA isolated from pedicel AZs of wild-type (cv New Yorker [NY]) and TAPG4::antisense KD1 transgenic (line E) plants 4 h after flower removal (A), and freshly harvested wild-type (cv VF36) and Pts mutant (B) plants were used to determine abundance of transcripts of each gene by qRT-PCR. Abundance of tomato 26S rRNA was used as an internal control. The expression ratio of each gene from microarray analysis is shown above the corresponding qRT-PCR column. Different letters indicate significant differences between NY and line E or between cv VF36 and Pts at each time point (Student’s t test, P < 0.05). Results are the means of three biological replicates ± sd. *, Data representing PIN9 were absent in the microarray.
