Tomato fruits from T₃ generation were used. Metabolite levels are presented as fold-change (AroG _209-9/WT) in each developing stage: mean ± SE. ^a P < 0.05 (false discovery rate) as analysed by two-way ANOVA and a Student t-test. G, GC-MS (n = 6); H, HPLC-PDA (n = 4); L, UPLC/qTOF-MS (n = 5); ND, not detected.
