Seedling salt tolerance in tomato [PDF]
, 2011 Soils with higher concentrations of salt are becoming more and more a constraint for many crops to obtain high yields. Wild tomato species, adapted to adverse environments, are a potential reservoir for genes underlying quantitative trait loci (QTL ...

Fitness effects of derived deleterious mutations in four closely related wild tomato species with spatial structure [PDF]
, 2011 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 ...

Tumor formation in hybrids between Solanum lycopersicum and S. habrochaites
African Journal of Biotechnology, 2013 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.

Isolation and functional characterization of lycopene beta-cyclase (CYC-B) promoter from Solanum habrochaites. [PDF]
BMC Plant Biol, 2010 Abstract Background Carotenoids are a group of C40 isoprenoid molecules that play diverse biological and ecological roles in plants. Tomato is an important vegetable in human diet and provides the vitamin A precursor β-carotene.

Resistance of tomato genotypes to the greenhouse Whitefly Trialeurodes vaporariorum (West.) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) [PDF]
, 2010 The greenhouse whitefly, Trialeurodes vaporariorum Westwood, is the most common and abundant whitefly in Argentine horticultural greenhouse crops, especially in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum).

Mapping of loci from Solanum lycopersicoides conferring resistance or susceptibility to Botrytis cinerea in tomato [PDF]
, 2009 Cultivated tomato (Solanum lycopersicum, syn. Lycopersicon esculentum) is susceptible to the necrotrophic ascomycete and causal agent of gray mold, Botrytis cinerea.
