| Abstract |
To more easily understand the function of a protein called lipocalin, samples from ’Micro-Tom’ tomatoes and samples of the pericarp portion of SlTIL1, SlTIL2, and SlCHL over-expressed fruit was analyzed using Technovit 7100 (Heraeus Kulzer, Wehrheim, Germany). The results showed that the structure and cells of the pericarp in its fruit in the breaker phase of the over-expressed SlTILs and SlCHL showed that most of the pericarp cells were greatly expanded in light conditions 1 and light conditions 2 when compared to controls. Exocarp and mesocarp in controls have an intercellular space, but this is not found in the intercellular space in SlTILs and SlCHL pericarp cells that are over-expressed. SlTILs and SlCHL cell structure of vascular bundles which is widely shows a wider (tenuous) cell than a control vascular bundle cell. These results indicate that cells in SlTILs and SlCHL which are over-expressed are more rapidly developing than wild-type ‘Micro-Tom’ tomatoes as controls.
