    Conclusions

    UV-B depletiona) reduced flavonoid content in DRW fruits (open-field cultivation)

    b) enhanced flavonoid content in Esperanza fruits (UV-B opaque plastic covers)

    In hp-1 peel and fleshthe earlier and higher activation of flavonoids was correlated with the earlier and

    higher activation of flavonoid genes

    The activation of structural genes is UV-B dependent mostly at MG stage

    UV-B depletiona) reduced flavonoid content in wild-type peel

    b) increased flavonoid content in hp-1 flesh
