All red ripe fruits were harvested from individual T2 generation plants, weighed, and analysed as in Experimental procedures. Wild-type material was derived from non-transformed T56 genotype (six plants), whereas plants with hp phenotypes wereT2 generation T56 plants containing either the 35S::hp2j or e35S::TDETI-3′ constructs (five plants). Plants were grown in Woodland, CA, during the Spring of 2002. Data are ±standard errors.
