Comprehensive Resources for Tomato Functional Genomics Based on the Miniature Model Tomato Micro-Tom [PDF]

Current Genomics, 2008
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L., Solanaceae) is an excellent model plant for genomic research of solanaceous plants, as well as for studying the development, ripening, and metabolism of fruit. In 2003, the International Solanaceae Project (SOL, www.sgn.cornell.edu ) was initiated by members from more than 30 countries, and the tomato genome-sequencing ...

Tomato Varieties Influence the Performance of Tamarixia triozae (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) on Bactericera cockerelli (Hemiptera: Triozidae) Nymphs

Insects, 2022
The potato/tomato psyllid Bactericera cockerelli is the Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum bacterium vector that causes diseases in Solanaceae crops. Pest control is based on synthetic chemical insecticides, plant extracts, and natural enemies such as ...

Moniliophthora perniciosa, the causal agent of witches' broom disease of cacao, interferes with cytokinin metabolism during infection of Micro-Tom tomato and promotes symptom development.

New Phytologist, 2021
Moniliophthora perniciosa causes witches' broom disease of cacao and inflicts symptoms suggestive of hormonal imbalance. We investigated whether infection of the tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) model system Micro-Tom (MT) by the Solanaceae (S)-biotype of M.

TOMATOMA: A Novel Tomato Mutant Database Distributing Micro-Tom Mutant Collections [PDF]

Plant and Cell Physiology, 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.

Boron deficiency responses in maize (Zea mays L.) roots

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Background Boron (B) is an essential micronutrient for plants. Dicot plants respond to insufficient B supply by altering root architecture and root hair growth. How root systems of rather low‐B demanding monocot species such as maize (Zea mays L.) respond to B deficiency in terra has not been experimentally resolved, yet.

'Micro-Tina' and 'Micro-Gemma' Miniature Dwarf Tomatoes

EDIS, 2005
'Micro-Tina' is a red-fruited, miniature dwarf tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) cultivar of a type similar to 'Micro-Tom' (Scott and Harbaugh, 1989) but with sweeter flavor.

Drench Application of Soy Protein Hydrolysates Increases Tomato Plant Fitness, Fruit Yield, and Resistance to a Hemibiotrophic Pathogen

Agronomy, 2022
At a time when growers have to increase food production, while facing many environmental challenges, biostimulants and plant defence stimulators (PDS) may help reduce the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides and to promote agriculture that is more ...

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.

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.

Sinergism among auxins, gibberellins and cytokinins in tomato cv. Micro-Tom [PDF]

Horticultura Brasileira, 2013
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of isolated and combined applications of gibberellic acid (gibberellin), indolbutyric acid (auxin) and kinetin (cytokinin) on vegetative and reproductive development of tomato test plants (Solanum lycopersicum cv. Micro-Tom), to better elucidate the interactions among these hormonal classes.
