The objective of this work was to evaluate the feasibility of selection for higher glandular trichome densities, as an indirect criterion of selection for increasing repellence to spider mites Tetranychus urticae, in tomato populations derived from an ...

SESQUITEPENOID ACIDS DETER MITE COLONIZATION OF THE TOMATO RELATIVE, LYCOPERSICON HIRSUTUM [PDF]
Spider mites ( Tetranychus urticae Koch) readily colonize the cultivated tomato. Lycopersicon esculentum L. However, mites have extreme difficulty colonizing the wild relative of tomato, L. hirsutum Humb.

DEVELOPMENT OF A SEED BIOASSAY FOR THE STUDY OF THE ALLELOPATHIC POTENTIAL OF LYCOPERSICON HIRSUTUM.
A seed bioassay was developed in order to elucidate the mechanism of interference in Lycopersicon hirsutum . Extracts of L . hirsutum were compared to extracts of other plant species, several ...

Tomato: a crop species amenable to improvement by cellular and molecular methods [PDF]
Tomato is a crop plant with a relatively small DNA content per haploid genome and a well developed genetics. Plant regeneration from explants and protoplasts is feasable which led to the development of efficient transformation procedures.

ABSTRACT Plant regeneration is governed by intrinsic gene regulation and phytohormonal cues. WUSCHEL (WUS) gene promotes regeneration, but its broader functional role remains unexplored. Here, we demonstrate that the constitutive and inducible expression of banana‐derived WUS2 (GN‐WUS2) enhances regeneration in Nicotiana tabacum (tobacco) and Musa ...

Influence of trichomes on attractiveness and ovipositional preference of Bemisia tabaci (Genn.) B biotype (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) on tomato genotypes [PDF]
Brazil is one of the world's largest tomato producer, but considerable part of the production is lost due to the attack of Bemisia tabaci (Genn.) B biotype. Resistant germoplasm plants can be an important method for B.
