Structure and pericarp organization of pollinated and GAinduced tomato fruits. Mature green half fruits (a, c, e, g) and corresponding pericarp sectors (b, d, f, h; outer epidermis on top) of cultivars WVa106 and Micro-Tom after pollination (poll.) or after addition of 2 μg GA3 to the emasculated ovary (GA). For each fruit, three sectors of the pericarp were analyzed, as shown in (a). In each sector, the cell population used to measure the overall cell size in pericarp, the six largest mesocarp cells, and the vascular tissues are delineated as indicated. The length and width of each of the largest mesocarp cells are measured as shown for one largest cell in each panel and at the bottom.

Representative images of fluorescent analysis of vitality and redox status in seven-day-old Arabidopsis thaliana Col-0, Atgstf8, and Atgstu19 insertional mutants after 1 h of treatment with 10 and 100 μM of salicylic acid. The redox status is represented as the ratio of fluorescence intensities (I405/I488) based on the corresponding colour scale, where black indicates a lower I405/I488 ratio (reduced), and white colour indicates a higher I405/I488 ratio (oxidized). I488: the intensity at 488 nm; I405: the intensity at 405 nm. Scale bar = 100 μm
