Genome-Wide Characterization and Analysis of bHLH Transcription Factors Related to Crocin Biosynthesis in Gardenia jasminoides Ellis (Rubiaceae)

Figure 5

qRT-PCR of nine candidate bHLH genes related to the regulation of crocin biosynthesis. The characters on the -axis indicate the root (R), stem (S), leaf (L), young fruit (YF), and red fruit (RF). The -axis represents the relative level of gene expression. The actin gene was used as an internal reference. One-way ANOVA was performed with GraphPad Prism. Asterisks () represent significant differences with the red fruit. was considered a significant level.
