TcMYB113 transcript levels determined by quantitative PCR analysis of RNA from the pericarp of cherelles (young Theobroma cacao fruits) of genotypes with green or red pod color (genotype names are colored accordingly). Bar colors indicate the color of (a,b) the cherelles and (c,d) the alleles analyzed Although standard deviations were calculated, the values obtained were too low to graph at the scale used below. All RNA levels are normalized to control RNA from Pound 7 leaf tissue. (a) TcMYB113 transcript levels in the pericarp of small (10 to 20 mm length) and large (30 to 50 mm length) cherelles of the green-pod genotype Pound 7 and the pericarp of the red-pod genotypes UF 273 Type 1 and Type 2. (b) TcMYB113 transcript levels in the pericarp of green cherelles of the green-pod genotype Gainesville II 316 and the pericarp of green, green plus red. and red cherelles of the red-pod genotype Gainesville II 164. Green cherelles from Gainsville II 164 were obtained from the completely shaded part of the tree sampled. (c) Allele-specific TcMYB113 transcript levels in the pericarp from small (10 to 20 mm length) and large (30 to 50 mm length) cherelles of the green-pod genotype Pound 7 and the pericarp of the red-pod genotypes UF 273 Type 1 and Type 2. (d) TcMYB113 allele-specific transcript levels in the pericarp of green cherelles of the green-pod genotype Gainesville II 316 and inthe pericarp of green (no sun), green plus red (partial sun), and red (full sun) cherelles of the red-pod genotype Gainesville II 164. Green cherelles from Gainsville II 164 were obtained from a completely shaded area of the tree sampled. Red bars in the green-pod Pound 7 is due to background fluorescence.
