Resistance of Commercial Tomato Cultivars to Meloidogyne arenaria and M. incognita
Research in Plant Disease, 2013 Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) are among the main pathogens of greenhouse crops worldwide. Plant resistance is currently the method of choice for controlling these pests.

Effects of selenium biofortification on crop nutritional quality [PDF]
, 2015 Selenium (Se) at very low doses has crucial functions in humans and animals. Since plants represent the main dietary source of this element, Se-containing crops may be used as a means to deliver Se to consumers (biofortification). Several strategies have

Multiple Resistance to Meloidogyne spp. and to Bipartite and Monopartite Begomovirus spp. in Wild Solanum (Lycopersicon) Accessions [PDF]
Plant Disease, 2010 The Ty-1 locus confers tolerance to monopartite and bipartite Begomovirus spp. (genus Begomovirus, family Geminiviridae) and this phenotype is improved in homozygous tomato lines. However, the gene Mi (Meloidogyne spp. resistance) is in repulsion phase linkage with Ty-1, which hampers the large-scale development of multiresistant inbred lines. Seventy-

Role of the cyclic lipopeptide massetolide A in biological control of Phytophthora infestans and in colonization of tomato plants by Pseudomonas fluorescens [PDF]
, 2007 Pseudomonas strains have shown promising results in biological control of late blight caused by Phytophthora infestans. However, the mechanism(s) and metabolites involved are in many cases poorly understood.

Unlocking fruit dimensions: Quantification of functional traits driving plant–frugivore interactions
Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Fleshy fruits attract animals to ingest fruit, swallow the seeds, and release them in the landscape, thus facilitating seed dispersal and plant regeneration. Attraction of animal dispersers is achieved via attractants such as color or scent, and rewards like sugars, lipids, and micronutrients.
