Natural Genetic Diversity in Tomato Flavor Genes

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Fruit flavor is defined as the perception of the food by the olfactory and gustatory systems, and is one of the main determinants of fruit quality. Tomato flavor is largely determined by the balance of sugars, acids and volatile compounds.

A Repertoire of Major Genes From Crop Wild Relatives for Breeding Disease‐Resistant Wheat, Rice, Maize, Soybean and Cotton Crops

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.

Differential DNA methylation and gene expression in reciprocal hybrids between Solanum lycopersicum and S. pimpinellifolium [PDF]

DNA Research, 2017
Wide hybridization is a common and efficient breeding strategy for enhancing crop yield and quality. An interesting phenomenon is that the reciprocal hybrids usually show different phenotypes, and its underlying mechanism is not well understood. Here, we reported our comparative analysis of the DNA methylation patterns in Solanum lycopersicum, Solanum ...

SSR Mapping of QTLs Conferring Cold Tolerance in an Interspecific Cross of Tomato

International Journal of Genomics, 2016
A population of 146 RILs (Recombinant Inbred Line) was derived from the cross between a cold-sensitive cultivated Solanum lycopersicum L. XF98-7 and a cold-tolerant wild Solanum pimpinellifolium LA2184. Relative germination ratio (RGR) and chilling index

The role of tomato wild relatives in breeding disease-free varieties

Genetic Resources, 2022
Cultivated tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is one of the most economically important and widely grown vegetable crops worldwide. However, tomato plants are often affected by biotic and abiotic stresses that reduce yield and affect fruit quality ...

Harnessing Natural Diversity and Rational Design for Enhanced Plant Immunity

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 11, Page 8643-8656, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant pathogens cause crop loss. Genetic resistance, through natural genetic diversity or engineered resistance, can be highly effective in protecting plants from infection. Genetic resistance from wild relatives of crops has been successfully introduced into crops to control pathogen infection.

AFLP analysis reveals a lack of phylogenetic structure within Solanum section Petota [PDF]

, 2008
Background The secondary genepool of our modern cultivated potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) consists of a large number of tuber-bearing wild Solanum species under Solanum section Petota.

Continuous light increases growth, daily carbon gain, antioxidants and alters carbohydrate metabolism in a cultivated and a wild tomato species

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Cultivated tomato species develop leaf injury while grown in continuous light (CL). Growth, photosynthesis, carbohydrate metabolism and antioxidative enzyme activities of a cultivated (Solanum lycopersicum L. ‘Aromata’) and a wild tomato species (Solanum

Scion and Rootstock Differently Influence Growth, Yield and Quality Characteristics of Cherry Tomato

Plants, 2020
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.

Cell‐based crop phenotyping for future climates

New Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 2, Page 575-587, October 2026.
Flow‐chart diagram illustrating the proposed pathway for improving the throughput of fluorescence imaging‐based phenotyping by using robotics and machine learning (ML) approaches. Summary Abiotic stress tolerance has been significantly weakened in modern crops during the domestication process.
