Gene expression of 15 CqSPL genes in various tissues and during fruit development. A Expression patterns of 15 CqSPL genes in flower, leaf, root, stem and fruit tissues as determined by qRT-PCR. Error bars represent standard error of three technical replicates. Lowercase letters indicate significant differences among treatment means (α = 0.05, LSD). B Positive numbers indicate positive correlations; negative numbers indicate negative correlations. Red numbers indicate statistically significant correlations (α = 0.05). C Expression patterns of 15 CqSPL genes at different developmental stages of quinoa fruit as determined by qRT-PCR (data shown are: 7 days post anthesis (DPA), 14 DPA, 21 DPA, 28 DPA, and 35 DPA). Error bars represent standard error of three technical replicates. Lowercase letters indicate significant differences among treatment means (α = 0.05, LSD). D Positive numbers indicate positive correlations; negative numbers indicate negative correlations. Red numbers indicate statistically significant correlations (α = 0.05)
