The accumulation of the cyanobacterial toxin, microcystin, in cherry tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and bush bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) plants [PDF]
, 2013 We aimed to develop a high-sensitivity method to detect microcystin toxins in fruit tissue and to determine if irrigation with water containing toxic cyanobacteria may result in accumulation of microcystin toxins in fruit tissue and affect fruit ...

Development of a locus-specific, co-dominant SCAR marker for assisted-selection of the Sw-5 (Tospovirus resistance) gene cluster in a wide range of tomato accessions [PDF]
, 2010 The best levels of broad-spectrum Tospovirus resistance reported in tomatoes thus far are conferred by the Sw-5 locus. This locus contains at least five paralogues (denoted Sw-5a through Sw-5e), of which Sw-5b represents the actual resistance gene.

Determining trichome elemental composition in Solanum wild and domesticated species using SEM-EDS
Scientific ReportsTrichomes are specialised epidermal structures on plant surfaces of plant aerial organs. They are integral to plant defence and adaptation. However, their elemental composition in Solanum species remains understudied.

Responses of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) plants to iron deficiency in the root zone [PDF]
, 2019 Iron deficiency induces a yellowing in the aerial part of plants, known as iron chlorosis, and reduces the growth, yield, and quality of the fruits. Understanding plant response to iron deficiency is essential for agronomic management. This study decoded

Radiocaesium Activity Concentrations in Potatoes in Croatia after the Chernobyl Accident and Dose Assessment [PDF]
arXiv, 2007 Systematic investigations of 137Cs and 134Cs activity concentrations in potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) for the post-Chernobyl period (1986-2005) in the Republic of Croatia are summarized. The correlation between 137Cs activity concentrations in fallout and potatoes, has been found to be very good, the correlation coefficient being r2=0.88 with P(t) < 0 ...

Glandular Trichome Rupture in Tomato Plants is an Ultra-Fast & Sensitive Defense Mechanism Against Insects [PDF]
arXivTrichomes, specialized hair-like structures on the surfaces of many plants, play a crucial role in defense against herbivorous insects. We investigated the biomechanics of type VI glandular trichomes in cultivated tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and its wild relative (Solanum habrochaites).
