Table 1. Chromosome and position of the flavonoid genes tested
- Is any of the tested genes located in the CH1B region?
- If you look at the pathway depicted in Figure 4, which part of the pathway did we NOT check?
...
- Describe how the expression of these genes develops during ripening in WT and IL1B fruits.
- Can these results explain the difference in flavonoid content, especially naringenin chalcone, in the peel of WT and IL1B tomato fruits? Hint: take into account the high expression of CHS vs the low expression of CHI.
- What do these results suggest with respect to the type of gene that may cause this phenotype?
