Malus domestica Transcriptome or Gene expression. Malus domestica

To explore the genetic variations contributing to the phenotype segregation of apple fruit size, three hybrid plants with fruit weight less than 40 g and three hybrid plants with fruit weight more than 120 g were used for transcriptomic analyses from the F1 hybrid population as representative small-fruit group and large-fruit group, respectively. All of the hybrid plants were sampled at 7 ,14 and 28 days after anthesis respectively, in total 18 samples were used for transcriptomic analyses.
