Table II. Molar ratio of glycerol to 9(10),16-dihydroxyhexadecanoic acid within cutin from 20-DPA and red ripe fruits from the wild type, Pro-35S:SlCUS1RNAi lines (L4, L10, L3, and L17), and cus1 mutants (cus1-a, cus1-b, and cus1-c).
Values are multiplied by 100. Significant differences from the corresponding wild type are indicated by asterisks (Student’s t test; *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; and ***, P < 0.001).
