Expression analysis of endogenous carotenoid metabolic genes in corolla tubes and leaves of XES-OX and WT plants. Data obtained from leaves of IoXES-OX #4, SlXES-OX #5, and IoXES-OX #5 were shown as representatives of each line. RT-qPCR analyses were performed in biological triplicate. Means ± SE are shown. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 versus WT (Student’s t-test).
