Characteristics of green (70 mm diameter) and mature (90 mm diameter) flavedo in AS and control EV cv Navelina sweet orange plants. A and B, Secretory oil gland number and size in green and mature flavedo. C, Peel thickness in mature fruits. Data represent means ± se and are derived from 10 fruits per plant. No significant differences were found at P < 0.05 using Fisher’s protected lsd test at each stage. D, The relative amount of individual terpenes is presented as a percentage area (given as a fraction of unity) of each terpene with respect to the total terpene peak area for monoterpene hydrocarbons in the EV line, which was assigned an arbitrary value of 1 in the mature flavedo. Data represent means ± se and are derived from at least five fruits per plant.
