Carotenoids and apocarotenoid volatiles produced by LA3923. (A) Developmental series of fruits from control (LA4024, squares) and LA3923 (triangles) harvested at breaker (0) and subsequent days indicated below (see Materials and methods). (B) Emissions of 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one (MHO) (red) and geranylacetone (blue) from fruits at the indicated stages of ripening. (C) Quantification of lycopene (red) and β-carotene (green) from the same fruits as for (B). LA1777 is the S. habrochaites parent. Note the broken ordinate scales for values on the graphs shown in (B) and (C). Graphs show values ±SE.
