Fig. 5: Ethylene production in apple fruit during sun damage development.

From: Photooxidative stress activates a complex multigenic response integrating the phenylpropanoid pathway and ethylene, leading to lignin accumulation in apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) fruit

Fig. 5

Effect of photooxidative stress on the internal ethylene concentration (IEC) in Fuji (a) and Royal Gala (b) apples subjected to sudden sun exposure. Non-Exp: nonexposed fruit; Exp: exposed fruit without sun damage; Sev: exposed fruit with severe sun damage. The internal ethylene concentration (IEC) was quantified after different times of sun exposure. Data correspond to the mean ± SE of three biological replicates. Different letters indicate significant differences (P < 0.05; two-way ANOVA)
