Character Association and Path Analysis Study in Determinate Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)

Comparative study of salt stress-induced physiological and molecular responses in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)

Genome-wide Identification, Phylogenetic and Expression Analysis of ABC1K Gene Family in Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)

Activity of bc1 complex (ABC1K) is a protein kinase commonly found in eukaryotes and prokaryotes. It plays an important role in various developmental and physiological processes, especially critical for plant response to diverse biotic and abiotic stresses. In this study, a genome analysis was carried out and 18 genes of ABC1K family were identified in tomato. Phylogenetic results showed that t...

Genome-Wide Association Mapping in Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) Is Possible Using Genome Admixture of Solanum lycopersicum var. cerasiforme

Genome-wide association mapping is an efficient way to identify quantitative trait loci controlling the variation of phenotypes, but the approach suffers severe limitations when one is studying inbred crops like cultivated tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). Such crops exhibit low rates of molecular polymorphism and high linkage disequilibrium, which reduces mapping resolution. The cherry type tomat...

Proteomic analysis of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum, formerly hycopersicon esculentum) pollen

In flowering plants, pollen grains are produced in the anther and released to the external environment with the primary function of delivering sperm cells to the female gametophyte. This study was conducted to identify proteins in tomato pollen and to analyse their roles in relation to pollen function. Tomato is an important crop which is grown worldwide and is an excellent experimental system....

Preliminary Study on Hepatoprotective Activity of Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) Pulp Against Hepatic Damage in Rats

Tomato was evaluated for its liver protective role against carbon tetrachloride (CCl ) induced liver 4 damage in Wister albino rats. Animals were orally treated with tomato pulp (20 and 40 mL/kg body weight) for seven days followed by intraperitoneal injection (2 ml/kg) of 50% v/v CC1 on the last day. The degree of 4 protection was determined by measuring levels of serum biochemical parameters ...
