No abnormalities are observed in the non-shedding MTC180 AZ that has characteristics of a functional AZ. A comparison of the fruit AZ of the non-shedding individual MTC180 (a-c) with that of a normal functional AZ in ripe fruit at 160 DAP (d-f) reveals fully differentiated AZ cell characteristics including aligned nuclei and small cytoplasmically dense cells, and no apparent abnormalities in the non-shedding AZ. Longitudinal sections were stained with toluidine blue (a, d, g-l), ruthenium red (b and e) and DAPI (c and f). M, mesocarp; AZ, abscission zone; P, pedicel; Scales bars are 100 μm (a-f) and 50 μm for (g-l)
