Mature fruits collected from the infiltrated plant 1 and the WT plant and their phenotypic measurements. A) Some characteristic mature fruits collected from the infiltrated plant 1 (left) and from the WT plant (right). B) Average fruit shape index of mature fruits of the wild type (WT) and of the VIGS infiltrated plant 1. The fruit shape index was calculated according to [1], as the ratio of highest fruit height to widest width. The fruits of the infiltrated plant 1 exhibit an average fruit shape index more than 1, characteristic of their oblong shape, while the average fruit shape index of the fruits of the WT is lower than 1. The difference between the two fruit shape indices is statistically significant (p < .05). Standard deviation bars are also shown.
