abstract

climate changes due to global warming is affecting world agriculture adversely. heat stress due to global warming has turned to one of the most important factors reducing quantity and quality of plants production such as tomato. despite of wide cultivation of tomato and high temperature effects on its production, unfortunately; research in this area is scarce. this study was conducted to investigate the response of tomato genotypes to heat stress. stress tolerance of 11 tomato genotypes was investigated. plant materials were evaluated at two experiments over one year under normal and heat stress conditions in a randomized complete block design with three replications in the greenhouse of college of agriculture and natural resources, persian gulf university, bushehr, iran. plant height, shoot length, days to flowering, yield per plant, fruit weight, fruit length and diameter, days to physiological maturity and days to harvest maturity were measured. combined analysis of variance results indicated high significance differences among genotypes for all traits. the genotype × temperature interaction for all traits was also highly significant. heat stress resulted in significantly changes in all studied traits. mean of yield reduction affected by heat stress was 72.33%. the highest reduction in fruit yield affected by heat stress was 90.58%. the highest positive (0.35) and negative (-0.67) correlations with fruit yield per plant under normal condition were detected for shoot length and days to harvest maturity, respectively. under stress conditions, the aforementioned correlations were identified for plant height (0.37) and days to harvest (-0.67), respectively. positive and significant correlation (0.49) was found between yield per plant under normal and stress conditions. this issue indicated that selection under normal condition could be used for selecting of stress tolerant genotypes. generally, based on calculation of heat stress tolerance index (hti), principal component analysis, correlation between hti and components, yield per plant, days to harvest and other morphological traits, t629 and e26.34095 with acceptable yield under both normal and stress conditions were the best genotypes for bushehr fields. the highest hti (0.63) and components values under normal and stress conditions were found for e26.34095. significant differences between normal and stress conditions for fruit morphological characteristics showing that heat stress reduces fruit quality significantly.

In vitro flowering and fruiting in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.)

In vitro flowering and fruiting were induced in plants regenerated from calli of leaf explants of Lycopersicon esculentum var. Pant 11. MS medium supplemented with 2 mg/l BAP displayed the best response followed by MS with 2 mg/l BAP, 1 mg/ l ABA and 0.5 mg/l IAA. Flower buds were developed both directly from callus and regenerated plantlets from leaf explants under 16 h (39.3 μmol m-2s-1) phot...

Simulation of dry matter accumulation, partitioning and yield prediction in processing tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.)

Simulation of dry matter accumulation and the distribution of crop growth is an important means of predicting yield. In this study, a variety of cultivars of the processing tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.), sowing dates and densities were tested. By analyzing the quantitative relationships between growth and physiological development time (PDT) based on a knowledge model, dry matter parti...

Combining Ability Estimates for Yield Some Traits in Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) by Line×Tester

     12 single crosses (F1) achieved by combining four testers and three commercial lines of tomato were evaluated for their response to water deficit stress and the combining ability of yield and some yield components. The layout was split plots according to randomized complete block design with three replications and three irrigation levels (FC, 60%FC and 40%FC). Crossing among lines and test...

Effect of High Temperature and Heat Shock on Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) Genotypes under Controlled Conditions

Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum MILL.) is usually produced during the winter period in Sudan. In summer due to high temperatures, monthly average temperatures are between 31 to 35°C, a shortage of tomatoes is common. General environmental changes, especially global warming, may have an adverse effect on crop production in Sudan. The objective of this study is (i) to investigate the effect of he...

Molecular and biochemical protective roles of sodium nitroprusside in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) under salt stress

Salinity stresses act as inhibitor factors of plant growth. They can change the physiological characteristics and limit the production of crops. Sodium nitroprusside (SNP) is a stable free radical which use as a signalling molecule in plants and participates in various plant’s physiological, biochemical and molecular processes and also in plant’s responses to environmental stresses. We investig...
