Measurement of sap flow dynamics through the tomato peduncle using a non-invasive sensor based on the heat field deformation method [PDF]
Recent contradicting evidence on the contributions of xylem and phloem to tomato fruit growth highlights the need for a more thorough insight into the dynamics of sap flow through the tomato peduncle. In fact, knowledge on sap flow dynamics through small

Effect of Low-Voltage Electrostatic Field Treatment on Postharvest Quality and Mitochondrial Redox Metabolism of Cherry Tomatoes(低压静电场处理对樱桃番茄采后品质及线粒体氧化还原代谢的影响) [PDF]
Low-voltage electrostatic field technology is a technique that can prolong the shelf life of fruits and vegetables. To explore its impact on the postharvest quality of fruits and vegetables, the effects of low-voltage electrostatic field (200mV and 300mV)

Guidelines to use tomato in experiments with a controlled environment [PDF]
Domesticated tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is the most important horticultural crop worldwide. Low polymorphism at the DNA level conflicts with the wealth of morphological variation. Fruits vary widely in size, shape, and color.

Tomato resistance to Alternaria stem canker: localization in host genotypes and functional expression compared to non-host resistance [PDF]
The Alternaria stem canker resistance locus (Asc-locus), involved in resistance to the fungal pathogen Alternaria alternata f. sp. lycopersici and in insensitivity to host-specific toxins (AAL-toxins) produced by the pathogen, was genetically mapped on ...

Investigations on Tuta absoluta (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae): larval infestation on the tomato cultivated in open field and evaluation of five essential oils against larvae in laboratory [PDF]
The tomato miner Tuta absoluta Meyrick (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) is a Neotropical species, which cause serious damages to tomato in spread areas. It appeared in 2008 in Italy, where it seriously threatened tomato production both in greenhouse and open ...

Effects of High-Level Acylsugar-Producing Tomato Lines on the Development of Tomato Psyllids (Hemiptera: Triozidae). [PDF]
Acylsugars have been shown to provide activity against numerous insect pests of tomatoes. Comparison of acylsugar levels in four tomato plant lines, FA7/AS, FA2/AS, CU071026, and 'Yellow Pear', found that the acylsugar contents in the elevated acylsugar ...

Begomovirus quasispecies adapt to hosts by exploring different sequence space without changing their consensus sequences [PDF]
Geminiviruses possess single-stranded circular DNA genomes that depend on cellular polymerases for replication in the host nucleus. In plant hosts, geminivirus populations behave as ensembles of mutant and recombinant genomes.

Genome-Wide Identification, Functional Analysis and Expression Profiling of the Aux/IAA Gene Family in Tomato [PDF]
Auxin is a central hormone that exerts pleiotropic effects on plant growth including the development of roots, shoots, flowers and fruit. The perception and signaling of the plant hormone auxin rely on the cooperative action of several components,among
