FIGURE 2.

Type-IV leaf glandular trichome density and acylsucrose production in ABL 14-8 and “Moneymaker” near-isogenic tomato lines. (A), mean values of type-IV leaf glandular trichome densities (+ SEM, n = 10) measured in “Moneymaker” and ABL 14-8 10-leaf growth stages plants. (B) Box-and-Whisker plots showing acylsucrose accumulation in young leaves of “Moneymaker” and ABL 14-8 plants (n = 10) at 10-leaf growth stage; the box represents the interquartile range, the horizontal line in the box shows the value of the median, and bars below and above the box mark the 10^th and 90^th percentiles. Plants were grown in warm (summer) conditions. Both type IV trichome densities and acylsucrose production were significantly different (P < 0.001) between the two lines.
