From: Tomato UV-B receptor SlUVR8 mediates plant acclimation to UV-B radiation and enhances fruit chloroplast development via regulating SlGLK2

Figure 4

SlUVR8 affects tomato fruit pigment and nutrient quality. (A) Phenotypes of immature fruits (25 DPA) and red ripe fruits from field-grown plants of wild-type Ailsa Craig (WT), 35S::SlUVR8Ri lines and 35S::SlUVR8OE lines. (B) Total chlorophyll levels from immature green fruit in (A). Values were shown as “means ± SD”; Error bars represent SD of 10 biological replicates. “**” means P < 0.001 (Student’s t test). (C) Lycopene, β-carotene, and starch levels in Ailsa Craig (WT), 35S::SlUVR8Ri and 35S::SlUVR8OE fruit. Lycopene and β-carotene levels were measured in red ripe fruits. Starch was measured in immature green fruits. Values were shown as “means ± SD”; Error bars represent SD of 10 biological replicates. “*” and “**” means P < 0.05 and P < 0.001 respectively (Student’s t test).
