Fig 1.
Fruit of two pomegranate varieties at different developmental stages.
A, B, C, and D are ‘Tunisia’ at DAB 30, 60, 90, and 120, respectively; E, F, G, and H are ‘Sanbai’ at DAB 30, 60, 90, and 120, respectively.
Fig 2.
Arils and seed sizes of the fruit of two varieties of pomegranate.
A and B are the arils of ‘Tunisia’ and ‘Sanbai’ (120DAB), respectively; C are the seeds of the two varieties: the first row is ‘Tunisia’ seeds, testa, and embryos, respectively; the second row is ‘Sanbai’, seeds, testa, and embryos, respectively.
