GNTI- and MANII-RNAi plants show opposite growth phenotypes. Micro-Tom wild-type (wt) next to GNTI-RNAi (#20) and MANII-RNAi (#14) plants in the greenhouse. Around the age of 4 months, leaves of wt plants started to develop yellow rims (center), while premature senescence was visible for GNTI-RNAi plants, with yellow to necrotic leaf sectors (center left). At this stage, MANII-RNAi plants showed no signs of senescence, but often rolled-up leaf rims (center right). When cut back, GNTI-RNAi plants were able to grow new green sprouts (bottom left). Leaves and fruits of MANII-RNAi plants had a darker, matte appearance (center and bottom right). For details on plant growth and flower and fruit phenotypes, see Supplementary Figure S3.
