RNA was extracted from the collected peach fruit tissues using a Total RNA Kit (Sangon, Shanghai, China) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. RNA samples were evaluated in 1% agarose gels to determine the levels of degradation and contamination and then analyzed using a NanoDrop ND-1000 spectrophotometer (Thermo Scientific, Wilmington, USA) to determine RNA quantity and quality. First-strand cDNA was synthesized from the RNA samples with a Reverse Transcriptase kit (Tiangen, Beijing, China). The cDNA products were diluted to 20 ng µL−1 for subsequent quantitative reverse-transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) analyses.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
