You all may know this, but when segregating, do it by plant, not by 'fruit'. What I mean is if a cherry tomato normally has 2 locules, but occasionally 3, selecting the fruit that has 3 locules, will not give you different genetics than the fruit that has 2. If you have multiple plants, and one consistently has more locules than another, then you can seed from that plant and hold it separate from the 2 locule plants.
You probably all knew this, but I thought it was worth pointing out.
