Initiation and Control of Sunscald Injury of Tomato Fruit1
Abstract Sunscald was induced by exposing fruit of tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum mill.) to intense solar radiation; similar injury was caused by radiation from incandescent lamps.

Tissue‐specific study across the stem reveals the chemistry and transcriptome dynamics of birch bark
Summary Tree bark is a highly specialized array of tissues that plays important roles in plant protection and development. Bark tissues develop from two lateral meristems; the phellogen (cork cambium) produces the outermost stem–environment barrier called the periderm, while the vascular cambium contributes with phloem tissues. Although bark is diverse

Tree Trunk Applicators for Sunscald Protection1
Abstract The application of exterior white latex paint has proved useful in protecting young fruit and nut trees from summer sunscald. The common methods of paint application are by brush or spray, but brushing is time consuming and not always fully effective and spraying is wasteful of paint and the equipment is difficult to clean.

Comparison of Paper Bags, Calcium Carbonate, and Shade Nets for Sunscald Protection in ‘Murcott’ Tangor Fruit [PDF]
‘Murcott’ tangor ( Citrus reticulata × Citrus sinensis ) is susceptible to sunscald injury due to high temperatures during summer in Chiayi, Taiwan. The average rate of sunscald damage in ‘Murcott’ tangor fruit is 13.6% when no protective measures are ...

International Biological Flora: Tsuga canadensis*
Eastern Hemlock is a long‐lived forest tree of eastern North America known for its deep shade and home given to many organisms. Despite surviving large‐scale clearing for agriculture when Europeans arrived, it returned to dominate when the land was abandoned in the mid 1800s.

Genome Mapping and Molecular Breeding of Tomato
The cultivated tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum, is the second most consumed vegetable worldwide and a well‐studied crop species in terms of genetics, genomics, and breeding. It is one of the earliest crop plants for which a genetic linkage map was constructed, and currently there are several molecular maps based on crosses between the cultivated and ...
