The Effects of Salinity on the Anatomy and Gene Expression Patterns in Leaflets of Tomato cv. Micro-Tom [PDF]
Genes, 2021 Salinity is a form of abiotic stress that impacts growth and development in several economically relevant crops and is a top-ranking threat to agriculture, considering the average rise in the sea level caused by global warming. Tomato is moderately sensitive to salinity and shows adaptive mechanisms to this abiotic stressor.

Hydroponic Culture of ‘Micro-Tom’ Tomato
Bio-Protocol, 2015 We use ‘Micro-Tom’ to study tomato fruit ripening and development mechanisms. ‘Micro-Tom’ is suitable for cultivation and experiments due to its small size of 10 to 20 cm in height and short life cycle of 3 months.

Genetic and physiological characterization of tomato cv. Micro-Tom [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2006 Based on its compact habit, Micro-Tom, a dwarf cultivar of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.), has been proposed as a preferred variety to carry out molecular research in tomato. This cultivar, however, is poorly characterized. It is shown here that Micro-Tom has mutations in the SELF-PRUNING (SP) and DWARF (D) genes.

Transcriptomic Analysis of Early Fruit Development in Micro-Tom Tomato Reveals Conserved and Cultivar-Specific Mechanisms [PDF]
PlantsEarly fruit development in tomato is driven by complex gene expression patterns and metabolic reprogramming, a crucial phase that shapes the fruit’s final size and structure. Previous studies using the Micro-Tom model have largely focused on later stages

Comprehensive observation of trichome development in Micro-tom tomato
Vegetable Research, 2021 Trichomes help plants defend against various stresses by formation of a protective barrier. Although the unicellular trichomes in Arabidopsis have been well studied, little is known of the development of multicellular trichomes in tomato.
