Edaphoclimatic Descriptors of Wild Tomato Species (Solanum Sect. Lycopersicon) and Closely Related Species (Solanum Sect. Juglandifolia and Sect. Lycopersicoides) in South America [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 Wild species related to cultivated tomato are essential genetic resources in breeding programs focused on food security to face future challenges. The ecogeographic analysis allows identifying the species adaptive ranges and most relevant environmental ...

Characterization of 15-cis-ζ-Carotene Isomerase Z-ISO in Cultivated and Wild Tomato Species Differing in Ripe Fruit Pigmentation [PDF]
Plants, 2021 Isomerization of 9,15,9′-tri-cis-ζ-carotene mediated by 15-cis-ζ-carotene isomerase Z-ISO is a critical step in the biosynthesis of carotenoids, which define fruit color.

Epicuticular Lipid Accumulation on the Leaves of Lycopersicon pennellii (Corr.) D'Arcy and Lycopersicon esculentum Mill [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1985 A comparison was made of epicuticular lipid accumulation on leaves of Lycopersicon pennellii and Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv VF36 from 5 to 16 weeks of age. Epicuticular lipids were a small fraction of the leaf dry weight (0.16%) of 5-week-old ;VF36', and increased to only 0.96% of the leaf dry weight after an additional 12 weeks of growth.

Stomatal Response to Light of Solanum pennellii, Lycopersicon esculentum, and a Graft-induced Chimera [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1978 To learn how species differences in stomatal behavior are regulated, the response of epidermal and leaf diffusive resistance to light was investigated in Lycopersicon esculentum Mill., Solanum pennellii Corr., and a periclinal chimera having an S. pennellii epidermis and an L. esculentum mesophyll that was produced from a graft of the two species.

Biochemical Systematics and Ecology, 1994 Abstract Acylsugars exuded by glandular trichomes mediate insect resistance of the wild tomato Lycopersicon pennellii. Fifteen accessions of this species and four accessions of L. pennellii var. puberulum were surveyed for variability of acylsugar production.

Phylogenetic Divergence and Domestication Jointly Shape the Tomato Root Microbiome [PDF]
PlantsDomestication reduced the genetic diversity in modern crops, often resulting in reduced resilience to biotic and abiotic stress. Evidence is now accumulating that domestication also altered the structure and function of root-associated microbiomes ...

Inheritance of Glandular Trichomes in Crosses between Lycopersicon esculentum and Lycopersicon pennellii [PDF]
Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 1984 Abstract The absence or presence of type IV trichomes seemed to be simply inherited in crosses of the tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum Mill , and Lycopersicon pennellii Correll. F 2 and BC

Differential Regulation of Phytoene Synthase PSY1 During Fruit Carotenogenesis in Cultivated and Wild Tomato Species (Solanum section Lycopersicon) [PDF]
Plants, 2020 In plants, carotenoids define fruit pigmentation and are involved in the processes of photo-oxidative stress defense and phytohormone production; a key enzyme responsible for carotene synthesis in fruit is phytoene synthase 1 (PSY1).

Branched Chain Amino Acid Metabolism in the Biosynthesis of Lycopersicon pennellii Glucose Esters [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1990 Lycopersicon pennellii Corr. (D'Arcy) an insect-resistant, wild tomato possesses high densities of glandular trichomes which exude a mixture of 2,3,4-tri-O-acylated glucose esters that function as a physical impediment and feeding deterrent to small arthropod pests.

Characterization of Expression of Drought- and Abscisic Acid-Regulated Tomato Genes in the Drought-Resistant Species Lycopersicon pennellii [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1993 A number of genes are induced by drought stress, and some of these genes are regulated by the plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA). In tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum), four genes have been identified and isolated that require elevated levels of endogenous ABA for expression: le4, le16, le20, and le25.
