Development of a Mutant Population of Micro-Tom Tomato Using Gamma-Irradiation

Plant Breeding and Biotechnology, 2020
Knowledge of genetic resources is essential for breeders to create new crop varieties with improved characteristics. In this respect, mutant populations may conveniently provide a powerful tool for identifying new functional genes. Therefore, we used the Micro-Tom tomato variety, which has a reduced size and a relatively short life-cycle compared to ...

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

Methods in molecular biology, 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.

Micro-Tom Tomato as an Alternative Plant Model System: Mutant Collection and Efficient Transformation.

Methods in molecular biology, 2016
Tomato is a model plant for fruit development, a unique feature that classical model plants such as Arabidopsis and rice do not have. The tomato genome was sequenced in 2012 and tomato is becoming very popular as an alternative system for plant research.

Short daily ultraviolet exposure enhances intrinsic water-use efficiency and delays senescence in Micro-Tom tomato plants.

Functional Plant Biology, 2022
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation, unless present at high doses, is recognised as a regulator of plant growth and some specific processes. The present study investigated the influence of short daily UV irradiation (15min/day, 11days) on leaf gas exchange and ...

Culture of the Tomato Micro-Tom Cultivar in Greenhouse

2016
Micro-Tom tomato cultivar is particularly adapted to the development of genomic approaches in tomato. Here, we describe the culture of this plant in greenhouse, including climate regulation, seed sowing and watering, vegetative development, plant maintenance, including treatment of phytosanitary problems, and reproductive development.

Catalog of Micro-Tom tomato responses to common fungal, bacterial, and viral pathogens

Journal of General Plant Pathology, 2005
Lycopersicon esculentum cultivar Micro-Tom is a miniature tomato with many advantages for studies of the molecular biology and physiology of plants. To evaluate the suitability of Micro-Tom as a host plant for the study of pathogenesis, Micro-Tom plants were inoculated with 16 well-known fungal, bacterial, and viral pathogens of tomato. Athelia rolfsii,

Streptomyces sp. strain PGPA39 alleviates salt stress and promotes growth of ‘Micro Tom’ tomato plants

Journal of Applied Microbiology, 2014
To identify an actinobacterial strain that can promote growth and alleviate salinity stress in tomato plants.Actinobacteria were isolated from agricultural soil and screened for ACC deaminase activity, production of indole acetic acid (IAA), solubilization of tricalcium phosphate and sodium chloride (NaCl) salinity tolerance.

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

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
