PCR validation of tomato genes. PCR amplification of tomato genes Solyc01g10680, Solyc12g006450, Solyc06g071640, Solyc01g088170, Solyc11g071600, Solyc09g064430 from DNA extracted from tomato fruits. Amplicons are visible (M−1Kb + DNA ladder). Figure shows lanes spliced together corresponding to genes affliated with the same pathway—original gel can be viewed in Supplementary Fig. 3. a genes corresponding to the β-alanine degradation I pathway; b genes corresponding to the L-tryptophan degradation VII (via indole-3-pyrtuvate) MP; c gene corresponding to the β-alanine biosynthesis III pathway
