Putative cell wall-related QTL identified in IL7.4.1 fruits. A. Chromosome intervals. B. Macroscopic changes in cuticular membrane phenotype. C. Cuticle phenotype under light microscopy using the lipid-specific dye Sudan IV as stain. D. Reduction in cuticle thickness (black arrows). Ultrathin sections for TEM stained with lipid-specific osmium tetroxide were used for cuticle thickness measurements. Data are presented as mean±SD. E. TEM appearance of changes in the cell wall of the epidermal cell (EC) in mature red tomatoes. CCW, cutinized cell wall; NCCW, non-cutinized cell wall.
