Cd stress can cause severe damage to the chloroplast structure and plant function. The stay-green gene (SGR2) is senescence-inducible has several important functions such as regulating senescence, responding abiotic stress, seed fruit ripening. SlSGR2 was cloned from tomato “Hongluocheng” (full-length of 819 bp encoding 272 amino acids). Subcellular localization prediction laser confocal observ...

Ascorbate peroxidase (E 1.11.1.11) acts as primary key component of plant defense against photo protection and photo-oxidative stress. Chloroplastic (APX) located in the thylakoid membrane (tAPX) and stroma (sAPX) have been thought to be key regulators of intracellular levels of H2O2. Therefore, it is of interest to study thylakoid membrane bound SlAPX from Solanum lycopersicum (tomato, a flesh...

The genome sequence of Southern tomato virus in asymptomatic Solanum lycopersicum 'Sweet Hearts' (STV-Florida) in Florida was assembled from small RNAs sequenced by Illumina RNA-seq. The STV-Florida genome shared 99.0 to 99.9% similarity with full genome sequences from Bangladesh, China, Mexico, and the United States (Mississippi and North Carolina).
