Fig. 1

The russet a and green b skin fruit of sand pear grown in an orchard. Scanning electron microscopy analysis of russet c and green d fruit surfaces showed that the skins of the two genotypes are covered by stacked suberized cells and cutin wax, respectively. Transmission electron microscopy analysis of russet e and green f fruit epidermal cells at the russet development stage showed that more tylosis (Ty) accumulated in the russet skin cells.
