Transcription profiling by array of apple lateral and central fruitlets treated with benzylaminopurine or untreated

ABSTRACT: Experiments were carried out in 2008 on 8-year-old apple trees (cv. Golden Delicious/M9) trained with standard horticultural practices at the experimental farm of the IASMA (Trento, Italy). Populations of fruits with different abscission potentials (abscising fruitlets versus persisting fruitlets), were established as described by Dal Cin et al. (2005, 2007, 2009), Angeli et al. (2002), and other preliminary experiments (unpublished data). Briefly, the abscising population was made up of lateral fruitlets treated with benzylaminopurine (BA) at 200 ppm (commercial name Brancher-Dirado), when fruits had an average size of 13 mm (about 15 days after petal fall, DAPF). The population of central persisting fruitlets was generated by removing all the laterals from each cluster at petal fall, and
