Carotenoid biosynthesis genes expression in fruits from 35 S:PRE2 lines and wild type. (a) to (c) respectively represent expression levels of PSY1, PDS, and ZDS in different stage fruits of wild type and 35 S:PRE2 lines. B + 4, 4 days after breaker stage; B + 7, 7 days after breaker stage. Data are the mean ± SD of three biological replicates. *Significantly different from the wild type, P < 0.05; ** for P < 0.01.
