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.

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.

Production components in transformed and untransformed ‘Micro-Tom’ tomato plants
Revista Ciência Agronômica, 2018 Changes to the amounts of certain proteins have resulted in several studies, among them the so-called heat shock proteins (HSP), which take many forms, most of them constitutive. However, other forms may be inducible by a particular stress factor.

Efficient regeneration of protoplasts from Solanum lycopersicum cultivar Micro-Tom. [PDF]
Biol Methods ProtocAbstract Protoplast regeneration has become a key platform for genetic and genome engineering. However, we lack reliable and reproducible methods for efficient protoplast regeneration for tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) cultivars. Here, we optimized cell and tissue culture methods for protoplast isolation, microcallus proliferation, shoot ...

Updating the Micro-Tom TILLING platform. [PDF]
Breed Sci, 2013 The dwarf tomato variety Micro-Tom is regarded as a model system for functional genomics studies in tomato. Various tomato genomic tools in the genetic background of Micro-Tom have been established, such as mutant collections, genome information and a metabolomic database.

Near-complete genome assembly of tomato (<i>Solanum lycopersicum</i>) cultivar Micro-Tom. [PDF]
Plant Biotechnol (Tokyo), 2023 AbstractWe present a near-complete genome assembly of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) cultivar Micro-Tom, which has been recognized as a model cultivar for fruit research. The genome DNA of Micro-Tom, provided by the National BioResource Project (NBRP) Tomato of Japan, was sequenced to obtain 72 Gb of high-fidelity long reads.

Effect of Indole-3-Acetic Acid on Tomato Plant Growth
Microorganisms, 2022 Plant growth-promoting bacteria have several abilities to promote plant growth and development. One of these skills is the synthesis of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), which mainly promotes root and shoot development.

Guidelines to use tomato in experiments with a controlled environment [PDF]
, 2014 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.

Plastid Proteomic Analysis in Tomato Fruit Development. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 To better understand the mechanism of plastid differentiation from chloroplast to chromoplast, we examined proteome and plastid changes over four distinct developmental stages of 'Micro-Tom' fruit.
