Description of the materials used for MPSS analyses. The picture shows the coloration changes of the fruit pulp in the mutant and wild type during fruit development (upper panel), and the differentially expressed genes at the five stages from our cDNA microarray data (lower panel, Liu et al., 2009). The five stages are 120, 150, 170, 190, and 220 days after flowering (DAF, X-axis). The fruit pulps of the mutant and wild type at 170 DAF, the stage with most significant transcriptional changes, were used for MPSS analyses in this study.
