Functional analysis of transgenic tomato plants expressing VvAG2. (a,a¹–a³) Wild-type Micro-Tom plant, flower and fruit organs. Scale bars = 1 cm. (b–d) Independent transgenic lines expressing VvAG2 plant. (b¹–b³, c¹–c³, d¹–d³) Flower and fruit organs of transgenic lines, scale bars = 1 cm. (a⁵,b⁵,c⁵,d⁵) Ovules in one locule of young fruit (a⁴,b⁴,c⁴,d⁴, one week after anthesis), scale bars = 1 mm. (e) VvAG2 relative expression of wild-type and transgenic plants *1–5. (f–h) Ovules number, plant size and fruit weight in wild-type and transgenic plants. (i) The number of floral organs in wild-type and transgenic plants. o, ovule primordia. Error bars indicate standard errors. Values are mean ± standard errors. Significance analysis was conducted with two-tailed Student’s t-tests (** p < 0.01, **** p < 0.0001).
