Fig. 1: Expression levels of BR biosynthetic and catabolic genes and changes in BR contents during tomato fruit ripening.

a BR biosynthetic and catabolic pathways in tomato. b Expression levels of BR biosynthetic genes (SlCYP90B3, SlCPD, SlDWARF) and the BR catabolic gene (SlCYP734A7) during tomato fruit ripening. c Endogenous CS content during tomato fruit ripening. d Endogenous BL content during tomato fruit ripening. FW, fresh weight. Three biological replicates (n = 3) were used for each analysis. The error bars indicate the standard deviations. MG mature green, B breaker, T turning, P pink, R red.
