Fruit set and parthenocarpy in transgenic plants. a Flowers at anthesis day in wild-type and transgenic plants. Both CsTIR1-OE L4 and CsAFB2-OE L2 exhibited ovary expansion prior to anthesis, and splited staminal cone. The exposed stigma of CsAFB2-OE L2 is labeled with red arrow. b Ovaries of transgenic lines were successfully set fruit and expansion after emasculation. c Wild-type seeded fruit and transgenic parthenocarpic fruit. Scale bar = 1 cm. d Altered fruit shape was observed in the CsAFB2-OE L2. Scale bar = 1 cm. e Comparison of parthenocarpic fruit set rate among wild-type, CsTIR1-OE L4, and CsAFB2-OE L2 plants. Data represent mean ± SD of three biological replicates with more than twenty fruits for each replicate. Different letters above bars indicate significant differences among different genotypes (Student’s t-test, P < 0.05)
