Fig 2. Fruit and cellular structure of fw11.3 NILs in the Howard German background.

(A) Medio-lateral section of fw11.3-WT fruit. Size bar = 1 cm. The pericarp, columella and placenta tissues are shown. (B) Medio-lateral section of fw11.3-D fruit. Size bar = 1 cm. (C) Hand cut section of a fw11.3-WT pericarp from a representative mature green fruit stained with toluidine blue. Size bar = 1 mm. (D) Hand cut section of a fw11.3-D pericarp from a representative mature green fruit stained in toluidine blue. Size bar = 1 mm. The inner epidermis is denoted as “en” whereas the outer epidermis is denoted as “ex”. The mesocarp are represented by the cells between the inner and outer epidermis.
