MdSOT sorbitol transporter, MdSUC sucrose carrier/transporter, MdTMT tonoplast monosaccharide transporter, MdvGT vacuolar glucose transporter. Quantitative RT-PCR was performed with gene-specific primers. For each sample, transcript levels were normalized with those of Actin, and the relative expression level for each gene was obtained via the ddCT method. Expression in 40-DAB fruit was designated as “10”. Values are means of three replicates ± SD. An asterisk indicates a significant difference between transgenic lines (A27 or A04) and CK at P < 0.05 by Tukey’s test after analysis of variance
