Fig. 5From: Validation and demonstration of a pericarp disc system for studying blossom-end rot of tomatoesSymptom development in pericarp tissue discs 3.5Â days after a 15Â min soak treatment in a water, 500Â mM ascorbic acid, or 10Â g/L (90.1Â mM) calcium chloride, and b DI water (pH 5.58), DI water (pH 2 .00), or 500Â mM ascorbic acid. a, b Each show a total of 24 blossom-end discs from 4 fruit. Each treatment was applied to 2 discs from each of the 4 fruit. Colorimetric data from discs in a and b is presented in c and d, respectivelyBack to article page
