RNA blot-analysis of class-I SlHSP (17.6, 20.0 and 20.1) genes in wild type (Solanum lycopersicum cv. Ailsa Craig) and its ripening mutants. (a) Fruits from wild type tomato var. Ailsa Craig along with near isogenic lines of ripening-inhibitor (rin/rin), non-ripening (nor/nor) and Never-ripe (Nr/Nr) mutant fruits were harvested at mature green [5 days before breaker (−)5BR)], breaker (BR) and red ripe (7 days after breaker, BR + 7) stages as described25. RNA was isolated, separated on gels, blotted and northern blot analysis carried out25, using gene specific probes as previously described46. Fruits at mature green stage (−)5BR from the indicated lines were given ethylene treatment and designated as (−)5BR + E. (b) Quantification of northern blot analysis using Image J program (https://imagej.nih.gov/ij/). The band intensity was calibrated with the band intensity of 18 S rRNA internal control used in northern blotting.
