qRT-PCR validation of candidate genes.

<p>Nine glycolytic genes (A), RyR and Tn (B) were picked out as representatives of differences between the Hyb and its parents. β-actin was used as the internal control, and each value represents an average of three separate biological replicates. The error bars represent the standard deviation. Asterisk (*) was marked if there was significant difference between the two samples, as assessed by a t-test (<i>P</i> < 0.05).
