Authors: T.D. Silva, C.M.A. Almeida, C.B. Malafaia, L.M.S. Oliveira, M.V. Silva and M.T.S. Correia
Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp lycopersici (Fol) is one of the main diseases affecting tomatoes. The BHRS 2,3 genotype of tomato is, however, resistant to this disease. A proteomic approach was used to understand the defense mechanisms of this genotype using the tomato root, the first tissue that interacts wi.. Read More»

Pericarp polypeptides and SRAP markers associated with fruit quality traits in an interspecific tomato backcross
Authors: J.H. Pereira da Costa, G.R. Rodr�?guez, G.R. Pratta, L.A. Picardi and R. Zorzoli
The aim of this study was to detect polypeptides and genomic regions associated with fruit quality traits in a backcross generation using as parent the Argentinean cultivated tomato Caimanta of Solanum lycopersicum and the wild accession LA722 of S. pimpinellifolium. We tested two types of molecular marker: polypeptide profile.. Read More»

Indirect selection of industrial tomato genotypes rich in zingiberene and resistant to Tuta absoluta Meyrick
Authors: I.P. Lima, J.T.V. Resende, J.R.F. Oliveira, M.V. Faria2, N.C.V. Resende and R.B. Lima Filho
Obtaining tomato cultivars resistant to pests through interspecific crosses between commercial cultivars and wild accessions is an important tool in integrated pest management. The aim of this study was to select tomato genotypes with high zingiberene (ZGB) levels that are resistant to the South American tomato moth (Tuta .. Read More»

Differential responses of one hundred tomato genotypes grown under cadmium stress
Authors: M.M. Hussain, A. Saeed, A.A. Khan, S. Javid and B. Fatima
Due to increased global concern over the deleterious effects of toxic heavy metals in the environment, it has become necessary to develop plant genotypes that limit the uptake of heavy metals to aerial edible parts. To address this concern, we performed a glasshouse experiment to assess variations within tomato germplasm for cadmium (Cd) tolerance under c.. Read More»

Indirect selection of industrial tomato genotypes that are resistant to spider mites (Tetranychus urticae)
Authors: J.E. Baier, J.T.V. Resende, M.V. Faria, K. Schwarz and L. Meert
Acyl sugars present in the tomato Solanum lycopersicum ‘LA-716’ accession confer good levels of resistance to arthropod pests. The objective of the present study was to select F2 plants from the interspecific cross Solanum pennellii ‘LA-716’ x Solanum lycopersicum ‘Redenção’ to assess resistance to spider .. Read More»

Industrial tomato lines: morphological properties and productivity
Authors: J.V.M. Peixoto, C. de M.S. Neto, L.F.C. Campos, W. de S. Dourado, A.P.O. Nogueira and A. dos R. Nascimento
The tomato is the second most produced vegetable in the world, with significant participation in the human diet. In addition, the production of tomatoes generates jobs and family income. The availability of improved cultivars that provide greater profitability to the producer and satisfactorily meets the needs of the fresh fru.. Read More»

Dynamic QTL analysis for fruit lycopene content and total soluble solid content in a Solanum lycopersicum x S. pimpinellifolium cross
Authors: Y.D. Sun Y. Liang J.M. Wu Y.Z. Li X. Cui L. Qin
Fruit lycopene content and total soluble solid content are important factors determining fruit quality of tomatoes; however, the dynamic quantitative trait loci (QTL) controlling lycopene and soluble solid content have not been well studied. We mapped the chromosomal regions controlling these traits in different periods in F2:3 families derived from a cross .. Read More»

Heirloom tomato gene bank: assessing genetic divergence based on morphological, agronomic and molecular data using a Ward-modified location model
Authors: L.S.A. Gon�?§alves R. Rodrigues A.T. do Amaral J�?ºnior M. Karasawa C.P. Sudr�?©
Accessions in gene banks need to be characterized and evaluated to determine their genetic diversity. We made a joint diversity analysis of the tomato gene bank of the Universidade Estadual do Norte Fluminense Darcy Ribeiro in Rio de Janeiro state, using the Ward-modified location model. Forty Solanum lycopersicum accessions w.. Read More»

Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) using the expansin 10 (CsEXP10) gene
Authors: Y.D. Sun, W.R. Luo, S.Y. Sun and L. Ni
The cucumber expansin 10 (CsEXP10) gene was previously cloned from young cucumber fruits but its role has not been defined. To determine the role of this gene in plant growth and development, a CsEXP10 gene transformation system was established. The open reading frame of the gene was inserted behind the CaMV35S promoter of vector pCAMBIA1301, and the cons.. Read More»

Genetic variability of NaCl tolerance in tomato
Authors: A. Saeed, M.F. Saleem, M. Zakria, S.A. Anjum, A. Shakeel and N. Saeed
Cultivation of crops in soils with high salt (NaCl) content can affect plant development. We examined the morphological and physiological mechanisms of salt tolerance in tomato. The responses of 72 accessions of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) to salinity were compared by measuring shoot and root lengths, and fresh shoot and roo.. Read More»
