Defective Clp activity improves fruit tolerance to heat stress. Fruits from MT and A94 plants were harvested at the MG stage and then incubated in a growth chamber at 25 ºC in the light for 2 weeks (RT) or exposed to 37 ºC for 4 d and then transferred to 25 ºC for a further 10 d (HS). After treatments, fruits were visually classified as green (G), breaker (B), or colored (C). A representative result is shown in the picture. Quantification of the results from several independent experiments is shown in the graph.
