Fig. 1: SlMYB75 expression pattern and generation of transgenic plants.

a, b, qRT-PCR analysis of SlMYB75 expression level. Rt, root; St, stem; L, leaf; and F, flower; 0, 10, 20, and 30 d represent the fruits at 0, 10, 20, and 30 d after flowering; MG, mature green; and Br, B3, and B7 represent the fruits at 0, 3, and 7 d after the breaker stage. c, The SlMYB75 mRNA level in fruits from the #11, #19 and #21 transgenic lines. d, Phenotypic characterization of WT (left) and #11 (right) plants at different growth stages. The data represent the means ± SD of three biological replicates. “*” and “**” indicate significant differences between SlMYB75-OE tomato and WT with P < 0.05 and P < 0.01, respectively, as determined by the t-test
