Relative expression of sugar transport involved 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) Lipoxygenase (FaLOX); (B) Jasmonic acid carboxyl methyltransferase (FaJMT); (C) Cell wall invertase (FaCWI) and (D) Soluble invertase (FaSI). 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).
