From: Roles of SlETR7, a newly discovered ethylene receptor, in tomato plant and fruit development
a Ethylene production at different fruit stages in tomato lines altered for the SlETR7 expression. IMG stands for immature green, MG mature green, Br Breaker, Br2 to Br8 stand for Breaker + 2 days to Breaker + 8 days, respectively. Data are the mean ± SD, n = 3. Statistical differences were analyzed by Tukey’s tests in comparison to WT, at each development stage, “*” and “**” show P < 0.05 and P < 0.01, respectively. Other panels show the effects of SlETR7 altered expression on gene expression related to ethylene synthesis. b SlACS2, an ACC synthase, c SlACS4, d, SlACS6, e SlACO1, an ACC oxidase, f SlACO2, g SlACO3, h SlACO4, and i the ethylene responsive gene E8, an ACO homolog. All data were obtained at four fruit development stages: MG, Br, Br2, and Br5. All data show mRNA levels relative to WT at MG stage. Data represent means ± SD, n = 3. Statistical analyses were performed using Tukey’s test comparing each line with WT, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01
