The fruit ripening process of GA3ox2 overexpression plants is affected. A The expression pattern of GA3ox2 during tomato fruit ripening process. B RT–qPCR analysis of SlGA3ox2 expression level in fruits in WT and GA3ox2-OE lines at the Br stage. C SlGAST1 relative expression levels in GA3ox2-OE breaker stage fruits. D Photograph of WT and GA3ox2 overexpression plants (L101, L125, L1217) at different stages. E Hue angle value of WT and GA3ox2-OE fruits during fruit ripening. F Ethylene production in WT and GA3ox2-OE fruits during fruit ripening stages. G Expression of the genes related to maturation at Br stage. The data are shown as means ± SD of at least three biological replicates. (Student’s t test, *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01.)
