Figure 6

Phenotype and physiology in transgenic tomato fruits. (a) Fruits phenotype of wild type (top) and 35 S:PRE2 lines at IMG, MG, B, B + 4 and B + 7 stages (middle and bottom). (b) and (c) Chlorophyll contents of three latitudinal sections from wild type and 35 S:PRE2 fruits in MG and B stage. (d) Transmission electron microscopy images of MG fruit outer pericarp chloroplasts from wild type and 35 S:PRE2 lines. Bars = 0.5 μm. (e) and (f) Lycopene and total carotenoid content of fruit flesh in B + 4 and B + 7 stages. MG, mature fruit; B, breaker fruit; B + 4, 4 days after breaker stage; B + 7, 7 days after breaker stage. FW, fresh weight. Data are the mean ± SD of three biological replicates. *Significantly different from the wild type, P value t test < 0.05; ** for P < 0.01.
