Fig. 3. Relative gene expression of SUT1-3 in different tissues of chicory and endive at S1 and S2 stages. Transcript levels were determined by qPCR and normalized against the expression of the reference gene (RPL19). Transcript levels in different organs were expressed relative to the levels of leaves of chicory at S1. Values represent the mean of three biological replicates ± SE. Different letters indicate statistical significance P <0.05 (Duncan's multiple range test).
