Fig. 1From: Differential gene expression in tomato fruit and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides during colonization of the RNAi–SlPH tomato line with reduced fruit acidity and higher pHColonization patterns, ammonia accumulation and pH changes induced by C. gloeosporioides on WT and RNAi–SlPH tomato lines. a WT and RNAi–SlPH tomato tissue colonized by C. gloeosporioides 3 days postinfection (PI). b Decay development on the two infected tomato lines (average of four to five infected fruits reported). c Ammonia accumulation and pH changes in the WT compared to the RNAi–SlPH tomato lines. For inoculation, 10 μl of 106 spore ml−1 suspension was placed in 1-mm deep, 2-mm diameter holes, and incubated at 25 °C under high humidity. Average ± SD of four to five replicates of one experiment out of three repeated experiments is presentedBack to article page
