Visualization of Plastids Present in Wild Type and Psy-1 Variety.

The Psy-1 variety PS-1C26R2 (T₈) was used for this analysis. pl, plastoglobules; t, thylakoid grana; Cl, chloroplasts; Cr, chromoplasts.

(A) and (B) A typical wild-type cell from mature green fruit (36 d after anthesis) visualized under bright-field (A) and fluorescence emission (B) magnification ×10.

(C) and (D) A typical cell from Psy-1 mature green fruit (bottom section of fruit) visualized under bright-field and fluorescence emission, respectively, ×10.

(E) and (F) The higher magnification (×40) of the Psy-1–derived cell from the top section of the mature green fruit under bright-field and fluorescence emission, respectively. Green arrow shows plastids autofluorescing due to the presence of chlorophyll, and red arrow indicates collection of plastids in which chlorophyll is absent.

(G) and (H) Transmission electron micrographs of the wild type and Psy-1 variety, respectively.
