During tomato fruit development the DNA synthesis of the pericarp was measured, After staining of the isolated nuclei with DAPI the relative DNA amount was analyzed using a flow cytometer. Results showed that in the young green fruit the C-values are comparable with those of developing leaves i.e. predominantly cells with 2C and 4C DNA content, where C is the unit of DNA content of the genome of germ-line cells [1]. During further tomato fruit development most of the cells switch to higher C-values (up to 256C) and the tissue becomes highly polysomatic. These results are correlated to the data obtained by measuring the diameter of the nuclei of the pericarp tissue with a confocal scanning laser microscope, The diameter of the nuclei increased during fruit development similar to 6 times reaching a maximum in the red ripe fruit.
