Nature's Shield: Exploring Nonglandular Trichomes (NGT) as Key Players in Plant Defense Mechanisms

Plant Direct, Volume 9, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Trichomes are found on almost all terrestrial plants and are derived from epidermal cells. Nonglandular trichomes (NGTs) protect plants from environmental stress, such as pest and pathogen invasion, reduce water loss, and increase resistance to abiotic stressors, including UV radiation, cold, and extreme temperatures.

An ATL78-like RING-H2 finger protein confers abiotic stress tolerance through interacting with RAV2 and CSN5B in tomato

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
RING finger proteins play an important role in plant adaptation to abiotic stresses. In the present study, a wild tomato (Solanum habrochaites) cold-induced RING-H2 finger gene, ShATL78L, was isolated, which has been identified as an abiotic stress ...

A multifunctional sesquiterpene synthase integrates with cytochrome P450s to reinforce the terpenoid defense network in maize

The Plant Journal, Volume 124, Issue 3, November 2025.
SUMMARY Terpenoids, the largest and most structurally diverse class of plant natural products, play essential roles in maize defense and ecological interactions. In this study, we identified and functionally characterized a sesquiterpenoid‐based defense pathway in maize centered on α‐santalenoic acid, a pathogen‐inducible sesquiterpenoid antibiotic ...

Fenología de la floración en tomate cultivado y especies silvestres relacionadas

Acta Agronómica, 2008
En un diseño experimental de bloques completos al azar se comparó la fenología de la floración de doce accesiones silvestres de Solanum sección Lycopersicum con la del tomate cultivado tipo “chonto”. Los tratamientos se repitieron tres veces.

Co‐Selection of Low Cadmium Accumulation and High Yield During Tomato Improvement

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 39, October 20, 2025.
This study finds that large‐fruited tomatoes accumulate less cadmium (Cd) compared to wild tomatoes and cherry tomatoes. This is because, during the improvement process of tomato, the low‐Cd allele LCT1A and the large fruit allele fw3.2T are closely linked, leading to a co‐selection event.

The N gene protects tomato plants from tomato brown rugose fruit virus infection

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 10, Page 4339-4349, October 2025.
Summary The tobamovirus tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) has recently emerged, causing significant damage to the tomato industry in various regions worldwide, including the US. ToBRFV evades the widely used Tm‐22 resistance gene, which encodes a nucleotide‐binding leucine‐rich repeat (NLR) class immune receptor with an N‐terminal coiled‐coil ...
