Guidelines to use tomato in experiments with a controlled environment [PDF]
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.

PERICLINAL CHIMERAS COMPOSED OF LYCOPERSICON PERUVIANUM AND L. ESCULENTUM DEMONSTRATE THAT S-LOCUS ASSOCIATED PROTEINS AND SELF-INCOMPATIBILITY CAN BE UNCOUPLED [PDF]
Lycopersicon peruvianum is a wild species of tomato that exhibits gametophytic self-incompatibility (S), wherein the SI response is controlled by the genotype of the pollen. Cultivated tomato (L. esculentum) is a self-compatible species. Assisted by phenotypic markers, periclinal graft chimeras between these two species have been obtained.

Fitness effects of derived deleterious mutations in four closely related wild tomato species with spatial structure [PDF]
A key issue in evolutionary biology is an improved understanding of the genetic mechanisms by which species adapt to various environments. Using DNA sequence data, it is possible to quantify the number of adaptive and deleterious mutations, and the ...

Scion and Rootstock Differently Influence Growth, Yield and Quality Characteristics of Cherry Tomato
Grafting is a valuable tool for managing problems of tomato soil-borne pathogens and pests, but often generates unpredictable effects on crop yield and product quality.

Effects of Alternaria alternata f.sp. lycopersici toxins on pollen [PDF]
Effects of the phytotoxic compounds (AAL-toxins) isolated from cell-free culture filtrates of Alternaria alternata f.sp. lycopersici on in vitro pollen development were studied. AAL-toxins inhibited both germination and tube growth of pollen from several

The evolution of inflorescence diversity in the nightshades and heterochrony during meristem maturation [PDF]
One of the most remarkable manifestations of plant evolution is the diversity for floral branching systems. These "inflorescences" arise from stem cell populations in shoot meristems that mature gradually to reproductive states in response to ...

Characterization of RIN Isoforms and Their Expression in Tomato Fruit Ripening
Ripening of tomato fleshy fruit is coordinated by transcription factor RIN, which triggers ethylene and carotenoid biosynthesis, sugar accumulation, and cell wall modifications. In this study, we identified and characterized complete sequences of the RIN

Identification of cDNA Clones Coding for the Style Specific S11a-Glycoprotein Gene Associated with Gametophytic Self-incompatibility in Tomato (Lycopersicon peruvianum) [PDF]
We isolated 18 cDNA candidates that were expected to encode parts of the self-incompatibility-associated RNase of Lycopersicon peruvianum PI 126441 (S11a-plant) from a style cDNA library. Polymerase chain reaction was used with oligonucleotides derived from conserved amino acid sequences of RNases from fungi and S-associated RNases in other species of ...

Preliminary checklist of the Cerambycidae, Disteniidae, and Vesperidae (Coleoptera) of Peru [PDF]
A preliminary checklist of the Cerambycidae, Disteniidae, and Vesperidae (Coleoptera) of Peru is presented. Within Cerambycidae, we record five subfamilies, 55 tribes, 345 genera and subgenera, and 714 species.
