Divergent Mating Systems and Parental Conflict as a Barrier to Hybridization in Flowering Plants [PDF]
Parental conflicts can lead to antagonistic coevolution of the sexes and of parental genomes. Within a population, the resulting antagonistic effects should balance, but crosses between populations can reveal conflict.

Genetic Analysis of Acylsugar Production in Intraspecific Populations of the Wild Tomato, Lycopersicon pennellii [PDF]
Acylsugars produced by many accessions of wild tomato (L. pennellii) mediate resistance to a number of important pests of tomato. The highly resistant L. pennellii accession LA716 accumulates high levels of acylsugars, of which 85% are in the form of acylglucoses, the rest being acylsucroses. In contrast, L.

Stomatal Response to Light of Solanum pennellii, Lycopersicon esculentum, and a Graft-induced Chimera [PDF]
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.

Inheritance and genetic mapping of resistance to Alternaria alternata f. sp. lycopersici in Lycopersicon pennellii [PDF]
The fungal pathogen Alternaria alternata f. sp. lycopersici produces AAL-toxins that function as chemical determinants of the Alternaria stem canker disease in the tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum). In resistant cultivars, the disease is controlled by the Asc locus on chromosome 3.

Guidelines to use tomato in experiments with a controlled environment [PDF]
Domesticated tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is the most important horticultural crop worldwide. Low polymorphism at the DNA level conflicts with the wealth of morphological variation. Fruits vary widely in size, shape, and color.

Entrapment of two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae (Acari: Prostigmata: Tetranychidae), by type IV glandular trichomes of Lycopersicon species [PDF]
Two-spotted spider mite (TSSM) is becoming resistant to many of the pesticides used in the tomatofields. A potential alternative method of control is host plant resistance, which may be mediated byglandular trichomes.

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.

QTL analysis of fruit antioxidants in tomato using Lycopersicon pennellii introgression lines
Antioxidants present in fruits and vegetables may help prevent some chronic diseases such as cancer, arthritis, and heart disease. Tomatoes provide a major contribution to human dietary nutrition because of their widespread consumption in fresh and processed forms.
