Do potatoes and tomatoes have a single evolutionary history, and what proportion of the genome supports this history? [PDF]
Background Phylogenies reconstructed with only one or a few independently inherited loci may be unresolved or incongruent due to taxon and gene sampling, horizontal gene transfer, or differential selection and lineage sorting at individual loci.

Tumor formation in hybrids between Solanum lycopersicum and S. habrochaites
Genetic tumors are neoplastic growths that arise spontaneously in particular genotypes in plants. In the present study, we observed the occurrence of tumors in interspecific hybrids between Solanum lycopersicum L. and Solanum habrochaites S. Knapp and D. M. Spooner.

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 ...

Chromatography of Solanum habrochaites extracts with the first record of the docosanoate, hexadecanoate and octadecanoate ethyls in this plant and in Solanaceae [PDF]
The increasing need for sustainable alternatives to synthetic insecticides has driven the analysis of extracts from Solanum habrochaites, a wild tomato, through fractionated column chromatography.

Breeding tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) for resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is an important vegetable crop cultivated in the tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. Low productivity in India is due to occurrence of both biotic and abiotic stresses.

Pervasive antagonistic interactions among hybrid incompatibility loci. [PDF]
Species barriers, expressed as hybrid inviability and sterility, are often due to epistatic interactions between divergent loci from two lineages. Theoretical models indicate that the strength, direction, and complexity of these genetic interactions can ...

Differential modulation of photosynthesis, signaling, and transcriptional regulation between tolerant and sensitive tomato genotypes under cold stress. [PDF]
The wild species Solanum habrochaites is more cold tolerant than the cultivated tomato (S. lycopersicum). To explore the mechanisms underlying cold tolerance of S. habrochaites, seedlings of S.
