Overexpression of CmOFP6-19b inhibits melon fruit size. (A) Ovary phenotype of WT and CmOFP6-19b-Oe at the DBA. Bar = 1 cm. (B) Mature fruit phenotype of WT and CmOFP6-19b-Oe lines. Bar = 5 cm. (C) Expression level of CmOFP6-19b in WT and Oe lines. (D) Longitudinal diameter of ovary at 1 DBA in WT and CmOFP6-19b-Oe lines (n = 20). (E–H) Longitudinal diameter, transverse diameter, weight and fruit shape index of mature fruits at 38 DAP in WT, and Oe lines (n = 20). (I) Growth curves of WT and CmOFP6-19b-Oe1 fruits. (J) Longitudinal sections of WT and CmOFP6-19b-Oe1 fruits at 10 DAP. Bar = 200 μm. (K, L) Measurement of cell number and cell area displayed in Panel J. (M) Expression of cell division- and cell expansion-related genes in melon fruit. **P < 0.01 and *P < 0.05, Student’s t-test.
