Phenotypes of the Orr^Ds Mutation and Complementation of the Phenotype by the ex-35S-Orr Allele and ORR Gene Overexpression.

(A) Somatic activity (sectors) in fruit of a plant (Orr^Ds) harboring both the Ds and Ac elements.

(B) Fruit phenotypes in progeny of an Orr^Ds/ORR plant. Orange-colored fruit (homozygous, left), yellow-colored fruit (heterozygous, middle), and red (wild type, right).

(C) The phenotype of peel isolated from mature fruit of the plants shown in (B).

(D) Whole ripe fruit and isolated peel derived from the ex-35S-Orr plant compared with the homozygous mutant fruit (Orr^Ds/Orr^Ds).

(E) Whole ripe fruit and isolated peel derived from a plant in which the full-length ORR cDNA (starting from AUG-I) was overexpressed in the Orr^Ds/Orr^Ds plant.

(F) Whole ripe fruit and isolated peel derived from an F1 line obtained by a cross between a plant in which the ORR cDNA (starting from AUG-II) was overexpressed in the Orr^Ds/Orr^Ds plant.

(G) Whole ripe fruit and isolated peel derived from a plant in which the ORR cDNA (starting from AUG-II) was overexpressed in the Orr^Ds/Orr^Ds plant. In (E) to (G), the plus and minus symbols represent the presence or absence of the transgene conferring ORR gene overexpression, respectively.
