Phenotypes, fruit ripening qualities and expression patterns of MbMADSes in different stages of fruit development and ripening in banana (ABB). (a) Phenotypes of different stages of fruit development and ripening in banana (ABB). a1–a5 represent 0 DAF, 20 DAF, 80 DAF (0 DPH), 3 DPH and 6 DPH, respectively; (b) Ethylene release during fruit development and ripening process; (c) Fruit pulp firmness during fruit ripening process; (d) Fruit peel color (a, b, and L) during fruit ripening process; (e) The heat map with clustering was created based on the FPKM value of MbMADSes. Differences in gene expression changes are shown in color as the scale. The statistical significance of the differences was assessed by ANOVA (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01).
