GENETIC VARIANCES AND CORRELATIONS AMONG FRUIT QUALITY CHARACTERISTICS IN A Lycopersicon. esculentum × L. pennellii BACKCROSS POPULATION. [PDF]
An accession of the wild species of tomato, L. pennellii (Cor.) D'Arcy, LA 1077 is much more water-use efficient (WUE) than the cultivated tomato. The F1 hybrid between L. esculentum cultivar UC82 and LA 1077 was backcrossed to UC8 2 and selfed. S1 families (BC1S1) were evaluated for fruit quality characteristics at the Heinz Research Farm, Stockton ...

ABSTRACT In Nicotiana, the multiallelic S‐locus controls self‐incompatibility (SI), which encodes S‐RNases in the pollen's pistil and S‐locus F‐box (SLF) proteins. Their interaction mediates S allele‐specific pollen rejection, preventing self‐fertilisation.

Advanced backcross QTL analysis of a Lycopersicon esculentum × L. pennellii cross and identification of possible orthologs in the Solanaceae [PDF]
In this study, the advanced backcross QTL (AB-QTL) mapping strategy was used to identify loci for yield, processing and fruit quality traits in a population derived from the interspecific cross Lycopersicon esculentum E6203 x Lycopersicon pennellii accession LA1657.

Significance Statement We studied a tomato EMS‐mutant plant, glandless, that has glandless type VI glandular trichome. The gene underlying this phenotype is a member of the HD‐ZIP subfamily I, which regulates the development and specialized metabolism of type VI glandular trichomes.

Whole-genome re-sequencing of two Italian tomato landraces reveals sequence variations in genes associated with stress tolerance, fruit quality and long shelf-life traits [PDF]
Tomato is a high value crop and the primary model for fleshy fruit development and ripening. Breeding priorities include increased fruit quality, shelf life and tolerance to stresses.

Characterization of Expression of Drought- and Abscisic Acid-Regulated Tomato Genes in the Drought-Resistant Species Lycopersicon pennellii [PDF]
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.

Summary Genic‐cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) due to interactions between nuclear and cytoplasmic genomes is a well‐known phenomenon in some Solanum spp. hybrids, but genes involved are not known. In this study, the chondriomes of two isonuclear male‐fertile and sterile somatic hybrids (SH9A and SH9B, respectively) between the common potato (S ...

Balancing Selection at the Tomato RCR3 Guardee Gene Family Maintains Variation in Strength of Pathogen Defense [PDF]
Coevolution between hosts and pathogens is thought to occur between interacting molecules of both species. This results in the maintenance of genetic diversity at pathogen antigens (or so-called effectors) and host resistance genes such as the major ...

Nuclear Genome Organization of Asymmetric Intergeneric Somatic Hybrid Plants between Lycopersicon esculentum × L. pennellii and Solanum melongena [PDF]
Asymmetric somatic hybrids were obtained by PEG/DMSO fusion of protoplasts of a kanamycin-resistant (KmR+) interspecific tomato hybrid L. esculentum × L. pennellii with protoplasts of S. melongena eggplant. Elimination of tomato chromosomes was directed by application of 100, 250, 500, 750, and 1000 Gy of γ-rays to the donor protoplasts.

SUMMARY In the cultivation and production of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.), fruit cracking is a prevalent and detrimental issue that significantly impacts the esthetic quality and commercial value of the fruit. The complexity of the trait has resulted in a slow advancement in research aimed at identifying genes that influence tomato fruit cracking ...
