Developmental regulation of SlCMT3 expression.
Relative levels of SlCMT3 mRNA in fully-opened flowers (F) and pericarps from wild-type (AC) and Cnr epimutant fruits at immature green (IMG), mature green (MG), breaker (B), breaker + three days (B+3) and breaker + nine days (B+9) stages. The inset-figures have different y-axis scales to show the low levels of SlCMT3 mRNA at different ripening stages of in the AC and Cnr fruits. These values are dwarfed by the exceptionally high levels of expression of SlCMT3 in IMG Cnr fruit.
