Fig. 2: Expression profile of the DEGs across “Blanquilla” pear fruit from the different samples (CT, 1-MCP, and lovastatin) after 4 months of cold storage plus 5 days of ripening at 20 °C (SL).

The expression dynamics of the DEGs is illustrated in panel (a) through a hierarchical clustering heatmap. b Venn diagram highlighting the distinctions between shared and unique genes among samples. c 2D-PCA plot representing the whole transcriptomic variance among the different samples. CT: control sample, 1-MCP: sample treated with 1-MCP, and lovastatin: sample treated with lovastatin
