Fig. 2: Tissue-specific expression profiles of PSI-containing APs in S. lycopersicum.

Expression levels of AP V (A), AP W (B), AP X (C), AP Y (D), and AP Z (E) were normalized using the ΔΔCq method. Tissues analyzed included cotyledons, root, stem, green leaf, flower, green tomato, and ripe tomato. Error bars represent the standard error of the mean (SEM) from three biological replicates. Statistical analyses were conducted using a one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison test using the GraphPad Prism 10 software (http://graphpad.com). Asterisks represent statistically significant differences compared to the tissue with higher expression, unless otherwise specified, with an α threshold of 0.05 and a 95% confidence interval (*p < 0.03; **p < 0.002; ***p < 0.0002; ****p < 0.0001).
