Genetic and physiological characterization of tomato cv. Micro-Tom [PDF]
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.

TOMATOMA: a novel tomato mutant database distributing Micro-Tom mutant collections. [PDF]
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.

'Micro-Gold' Miniature Dwarf Tomato
'Micro-Gold' is a miniature dwarf tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) with gold-colored fruit. It is a comparison to 'Micro-Tom' (Scott and Harbaugh, 1989), which has been the smallest tomato cultivar released to date.

Genomic variation across distribution of Micro-Tom, a model cultivar of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). [PDF]
Abstract 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

Serendipita Species Trigger Cultivar-Specific Responses to Fusarium Wilt in Tomato
The endophytic fungi Serendipita indica and S. vermifera have recently gained increasing attention due to their beneficial effects on plant growth and plant health. Little is known about other species, such as S. williamsii and S. herbamans.
