Mutation mapping of a variegated EMS tomato reveals an FtsH-like protein precursor potentially causing patches of four phenotype classes in the leaves with distinctive internal morphology

Table 3 The number of palisade and spongy cells in the mesophyll layer of the different parts of the variegated tomato leaves

The counted number of palisade cells in all samples is tested statistically by Duncan's Multiple Range test (DMRT). Means values followed by different letters for each parameter are significantly different at p ≤ 0.05. DG refers to the dark-green area of the leaf, MG to the medium-green area of the leaf, LG to the light-green area of the leaf, and WH to the white area of the leaf. Meanwhile, WT represents the wild-type of TOMAC463 phenotype
