The C1 subtractive library (red stage versus green stage) was generated from the whole fruit (receptacle and achenes) as previously described [ 74].
The L1 library was prepared from red fruits (receptacle and achenes) of the cultivar Elsanta treated with ethylene.
The three grapevine smHSP down-regulated during the last phase of maturation are closely related to the strawberry smHSP njjs4 (U63631) gene [ 74], whose transcripts are accumulated in fruits (receptacle), but not in roots, flowers and leaves [ 74].
For the expression studies samples were from receptacle and achenes, separately, from stages of green fruit (green receptacle and green achenes); white fruits: white receptacle and green achenes; and red fruits: red receptacle and brown achenes, of the cultivar Camarosa.
The weight value of the low quality region 0.5 and the minimal confidence score 2. 2. Total RNA was extracted from F. xananassa fruits, from receptacle and achenes separatetly, according to the method described by [ 74].
Common features uniting this group include the vertical arms of the receptacle (fruit body) that are not joined together at the base, and the spongy structure of the receptacle.
The fruit body, or receptacle, bursts the egg open as it expands (a process that can take as little as a few hours), and leaves the remains of the peridium as a cup or volva surrounding the base.
In strawberry, the commercial fruit is the receptacle.
The receptacle, or fruit body, begins as a partially buried whitish egg-shaped structure, which bursts open as a hollow white stipe with reddish arms, then erupts and grows to a height of up to 15 mm.
When the achenes are removed, fruit (i.e. receptacle) growth is inhibited [ 9].
