For the study of global gene expression during fruit development, the SIL line segregants were grown, and fruit pericarp and peel were sampled from immature green (IG), mature green (MG), and breaker (Br) stages. For the study of the effect of temperature on detached fruitlets, IG fruitlets of MT BC3F7 lines were sampled and kept for 10 h, either at 20 or at 4 °C. Two replications, each of a minimum of three fruits, were prepared for each MT genotype. Tissues containing the skin and outer pericarp were sampled and immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen. Samples were prepared for RNAseq and run on Illumina HiSeq2000, as described in Shammai et al.44.
