Figures & Tables

Figure 1.

Gene expression in wild strawberry microshoots grown on MS medium with different concentrations of sucrose. MS medium with 3% sucrose was used as a control. Bars denote the standard error of the mean. Asterisks indicate significant differences compared to the control assessed by Fisher’s test (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01), n = 3. CHI, chalcone isomerase; CHS, chalcone synthase; MS, Murashige and Skoog; Myb10, MYB domain protein 10; UFGT, UDP glucose: flavonol 3-O-glucosyltransferase; WD40, a tryptophan-aspartic acid (W-D) dipeptide.
