Control and transgenic (5673) tomatoes were detached at the
breaker stage. Fruits were the same as used to generate the data
in Figure 3. Data are expressed as the number of days to reach
color stage after being detached (+SE). Ripening stages were
defined as follows: breaker, first sign of color change; 3, fully
orange; 4, orange to red; 5, greater than 50% red; 6, fully red.
Fruits in this experiment were the same fruits used for ethylene
generation in Figure 3.
