SlCMT3 affects expression of LeSPL-CNR and ripening genes.

(a), PVX RNA. (b), Silencing trigger RNA (PVX-SlCMT3). (c–n), Endogenous SlCMT3, LeSPL-CNR, LeMADS-RIN, LeHB1, SlAP2a, SlTAGL1, SlACS1, SlACS2, SlACS4, SlACO1, SlEBF1 and SlEBF2 mRNAs in non-ripening fruits mock-inoculated (Mo), inoculated with PVX, or in red-ripening (RR) and weak-ripening (WR) sectors of Cnr fruits inoculated with PVX/SlCMT3 (SlCMT3) at 31 days post inoculation. The inset-figure in (a) shows a low level of PVX RNA. Asterisk (*) indicates statistical significance (p < 0.001) by Student's t-tests between the SlCMT3-silenced and PVX control samples.
