Effects of Irrigation-Fertilization and Irrigation-Mycorrhization on the Alimentary and Nutraceutical Properties of Tomatoes

چکیده
Tomato, a key vegetable in the Italian Mediterranean diet, has recently gaining been attention in relation to the prevention of some human diseases. This interest is due to the presence of carotenoids and particularly lycopene, which is an unsaturated alkylic compound, that appears to be an active compound in the prevention of cancer, cardiovascular risk and in slowing down cellular aging, owing to its high antioxidant and antiradical power (Gerster 1997; Giovannucci et al. 1995). Lycopene is found in fresh, red-ripe tomatoes as all-trans (79-91 %) and cis(9-21%) isomers (Boileau et al., 2002; Shi et al., 1999; Stahh & Sies, 1992).

Effects of water stress and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycoperseci (Fol) on the growth of tomatoes were studied in a greenhouse experiment. Treatments consisted of five levels of water stress (1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 day irrigation intervals). Infested soil consisting of 400 chlamydospores g1 of Fol and non infested soil were used. Experiments arranged in a completely randomized design with 8 replicati...
