INDUCED MUTAGENESIS AND NATURAL GENETIC VARIATION IN TOMATO 'MICRO-TOM'

Acta Horticulturae, 2009
Tomato is a good example of a successful use of mutations affecting major genes for plant breeding, which are also valuable for gene discovery and physiological studies. However, mutant alleles are only currently known for an insignificant fraction of the about 35,000 genes in the tomato genome.

BREEDING THE TOMATO MICRO-TOM MODEL SYSTEM FOR ORNAMENTAL VALUE

Acta Horticulturae, 2009
Taking advantage of its small size (8 cm tall) and short life cycle (70 days), the ornamental tomato cv. Micro-Tom (MT) was proposed as a model system for tomato genetics. Ever since, MT has been used for large scale mutagenesis and the introgression of allelic variation already known in other cultivars and tomato wild species. Such new genotypes could

Investigation on the Precocity of Regenerated Seedlings from Micro Tom

Advanced Materials Research, 2011
Micro Tom is a novel breed model organism of Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. It has the a short life cycle and is dwarf and miniature. Owing to these characters, the utilization of Micro Tom can decrease the period of scientific research greatly and save time and space for breeding, so its application is more and more broad.

Micro-Tom Tomato Grafting for Stolbur-Phytoplasma Transmission: Different Grafting Techniques

2018
Tomato plant, being a model system in scientific research, is widely used to study plant-phytoplasma interaction. Grafting is the faster and most effective method to obtain infected plants. This chapter describes the greenhouse culture of tomato, cv. Micro-Tom, and different herbaceous grafting techniques for efficient stolbur-phytoplasma transmission.

Developmental analysis of carbohydrate metabolism in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum cv. Micro‐Tom) fruits

Physiologia Plantarum, 2004
Carbohydrate metabolism during the development of fruits of the tomato cultivar Micro‐Tom was studied. The metabolism of the pericarp and placental tissues was found to be different. Starch was degraded more slowly in the placenta in comparison with the pericarp, whereas soluble sugars accumulated to a greater extent in the pericarp. The activities of

Citrus carotenoid isomerase gene characterization by complementation of the “Micro-Tom” tangerine mutant

Plant Cell Reports, 2019
Complementation of the "Micro-Tom" tomato tangerine mutant with a Citrus CRTISO allele restores the wild-type fruit carotenoid profile, indicating that the Citrus allele encodes an authentic functional carotenoid isomerase. Citrus fruits are rich in carotenoids; the genus offers a large diversity in composition, yet to be fully explored to improve ...

Resposta fisiológica de diferentes níveis de déficit hídrico em tomate micro-tom

2021
O tomateiro é uma cultura muito relevante para a economia, com produção mundial de 177.118.248 toneladas/frutos/ano, sendo a China o maior produtor do mundo e o Brasil em 9ª posição. Todavia é uma espécie sensível à seca, que afeta seu desenvolvimento e produtividade.

Proton irradiations of Micro-Tom red hairy roots to mimic space conditions

2015
The purpose of the BIOxTREME project, launched by ENEA (Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development) and funded by ASI (Italian Space Agency), is to formulate new biological drugs having a stimulant activity on the immune system, finalizing the production for a "ready to use" resource in Bioregenerative ...

Transformation of PRT6 RNAi construct into tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) cv. Micro-Tom

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2018
PROTEOLYSIS 6 plays major role in the N-end rule pathway as N-recognin which functions as E3 ligase enzyme. It mediates ubiquitin processes that lead to degradation of unstable substrate protein. The aim of the current study is to transform the PRT6 gene into tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) from the cultivar Micro-Tom and to investigate its function in ...
