Fig. 3. Extended shelf life and increased dry matter and sugar contents in SlMBP3-KO tomato fruit.

Fig. 3

a WT and SlMBP3-KO fruit harvested at BR + 7 stage and stored at room temperature. Photos were taken at 8, 20, 30, and 50 days of storage. BR, breaker. b Dry matter content expressed as a dry/fresh fruit weight ratio (mean value of 13 fruits at Br+7 stage from each line). Significance was determined by two-tailed Student’s t-test. c Soluble sugar content at two ripening stages assessed by measuring glucose, fructose, and sucrose concentrations. Values are means ± SD of three biological replicates; each replicate includes ten fruits. Significance was determined by two-tailed Student’s t-test. L1 and L2 are two independent SlMBP3-KO lines. Bars = 2 cm. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
