Rapid phenotyping of the tomato fruit model, Micro-Tom, with a portable VIS–NIR spectrometer [PDF]
Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, 2013 Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) quality traits such as juice soluble solid content (Brix), juice pH, color parameters (Hue and Chroma), firmness and water content, are critical factors for fruit quality assessment. The need for screening very large numbers of fruit has led to the development of a high-throughput method using visible-near infrared (VIS ...

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 ...

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.

Discovery and Characterization of a Novel Tomato mlo Mutant from an EMS Mutagenized Micro-Tom Population. [PDF]
Genes (Basel), 2021 In tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), there are at least three SlMLO (Mildew resistance Locus O) genes acting as susceptibility genes for the powdery mildew disease caused by Oidium neolycopersici, namely SlMLO1, SlMLO5 and SlMLO8. Of the three homologs, the SlMLO1 gene plays a major role since a natural mutant allele called ol-2 can almost completely ...

TOMATOMA: a novel tomato mutant database distributing Micro-Tom mutant collections. [PDF]
Plant Cell Physiol, 2011 The tomato is an excellent model for studies of plants bearing berry-type fruits and for experimental studies of the Solanaceae family of plants due to its conserved genetic organization. In this study, a comprehensive mutant tomato population was generated in the background of Micro-Tom, a dwarf, rapid-growth variety.

Genomic variation across distribution of Micro-Tom, a model cultivar of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). [PDF]
DNA ResAbstract Micro-Tom is a cultivar of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), which is known as a major crop and model plant in Solanaceae. Micro-Tom has phenotypic traits such as dwarfism, and substantial EMS-mutagenized lines have been reported. After Micro-Tom was generated in Florida, USA, it was distributed to research institutes worldwide and
