Have you ever seen stripes on a tomato plant?

I'm hoping someone might know what's causing these stripes to appear on my tomato stems. Other than the strange marks, my tomato plant appears healthy and is growing. I wouldn't be so concerned if it was just an aesthetic issue. Unfortunately, the growing tip of a sucker easily snapped off, which seems unusual for such a young plant. Any help is much appreciated!

Hmm... any ideas what this is?

Unfortunately, the growing tip of a sucker easily snapped off, which seems unusual for such a young plant. There was a visible ring around the area where the break occurred. Any help is most appreciated.
