Plant and Fruit Development in the Wild Type and
gbp1-c.
(A) Plant phenotypes of the wild type (WT) and
gbp1-c.
(B) Leaf phenotypes of the wild type and
gbp1-c.
(C) and (D) Whole fruits and half transverse
sections of the wild type (WT) and
gbp1-c during fruit development.
For anthesis and 5DPA, equatorial sections were stained with Calcofluor
white.
(E) Fruit diameter during the growth period. Values
represent means ± sd (n = 9 to
16 fruits). Mutant samples include
gbp1c-8 and
gbp1-c4 fruits.
(F) Fruit firmness along development in wild type and
mutant. Values represent means ± sd (n
= 11 to 56 fruits). Mutant samples include
gbp1c-8,
gbp1-c10, and
gbp1-c4.
In (E) and (F), significant differences between
the mutant and the wild type: Wilcoxon test, P-value < 0.05 with
FC >1.2 and > 2 are indicated by * and
**, respectively.
