Relative expression of phenylpropanoid intermediates genes. Application of two levels of preharvest wounding on leaves and its effects in strawberry fruit when wounding occurred 7 and 14 days before harvest. (A) Phenylalanine ammonia lyase (FaPAL); (B) Chalcone synthase (FaCHS); (C) 3-deoxy-D-arabinoheptulosonate 7-phosphate Synthase (FaDAHPS); (D) 3-dehydroquinate Synthase (FaDHQS); (E) 3-dehydroshikimate Synthase (FaDHD-SDH2) and (F) 5-enolpyruvylshikimate 3-phosphate Synthase (FaEPSPS). Each bar represent the result of three technical replicates from five experimental samples (n = 5) ± SE. In each test different letters indicate a significant difference among treatments and controls (Duncan’s test, p ≤ 0.05, p ≤ 0.10).
