Fruit from the shn2 mutant shows severe cutin-deficiency. A Wax load and composition of the fruit cuticle from wild-type (WT) and shn2 plants. Values (µg/cm2 × 10) are mean ± SD (n = 3). B Cutin load and composition of fruit cuticle from wild-type (WT) and shn2 plants. Values (µg/cm2) are mean ± SD (n = 3). C Esterification degree of the 9(10),16-dihydroxyhexadecanoic acid OH groups of tomato fruit cutin. Values are mean ± SD (n = 3). a, P < 0.01; b, P < 0.05 (Student’s t test)
