Fig 1. Tomato fruit material.

Fig 1

A. Tomato Phenotypes. From left to right: ‘Black’, ‘White Beauty’, ‘Micro-Tom’ (from green stage to red stage) ‘Black’ and ‘White Beauty’ fruit fully ripens. For the 4 stages of ‘Micro-Tom’ shown, DPA (Day Post Anthesis) is 30~33 (green), 32~33 (yellow), 33~35 (orange), and 41~45 (red). B. Frozen sections of cuticle layers. From left to right: ‘Black’ mature stage, ‘White Beauty’ mature stage, ‘Micro-Tom’ (red maturity stage). The cuticle layers are found in the upper portion of each image. C. Electron microscopy of plastids in each tomato. Upper row shows Electron micrographs of plastids in each developmental stage of ‘Micro-Tom’. Lower row shows Electron micrographs of plastids in ‘Black’ and ‘White Beauty’ at mature stage. The bar in each figure represents the size scale for that figure. Red arrow shows membrane structures with high molecule density. Blue arrow shows crystal structure. Yellow arrow shows a whirled membrane structure.
