Tomato, the edible berry of plant tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is currently one most widely used crops worldwide. Tomatoes are considered to be popular vegetables, although, from a botanical point view, it fruit. It rich source numerous important bioactive substances that have positive effect on human health. Antioxidant compounds tomatoes, with their protective properties, significant ox...

The genetic variability and character association among important yield attributing traits was studied in 20 genotypes of tomato. magnus the phenotypic coefficient variation (PCV) for all characteristics higher than magnitude genotypic (GCV). High PCV, GCV, heritability accompanied by high advance as per cent mean recorded number fruits plant, average fruit weight, flower clusters/plant, cluste...

Across the globe, tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is a commonly used vegetable for culinary purposes. Despite its economic importance, production decreasing now days due to occurrence of various abiotic stresses like drought. Hence, it important understand mechanism drought tolerance sustain production. A field experiment was conducted with tolerant and susceptible genotypes or susceptibility....

Glandular secreting trichomes on the surface of tomato plants and many of its relatives in the Solanaceae produce a mixture of O-acyl sugars that contribute to insect resistance. The majority of acyl sucroses produced by the cultivated tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) contain three or four short chain aliphatic acyl esters, and tetra-acyl sucroses have an acetyl group as one of the acyl chains. We...

Adaptation Evaluation and Quantitative Qualitative Comparison of New Hybrid Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) Genotypes in the Farms Golestan Province

The effect of cultivar on sterol composition of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) seed oil from three industrial cultivars (Principe Borghese, Rebelion F1 and San Marzano) grown in Calabria Region (Southern Italy) was investigated. Sterol composition is presented both as percentage on the total sterol content (%) and as an absolute value (mg/kg). Rebelion F1 produced the worst seed oil in terms ...

A Gram positive bacterium, Georgenia sp. SUB25 was isolated from infected leaves of Solanum lycopersicum L. in Rajkot (22.30°N, 70.78°E), Gujarat, India. We sequenced and analyzed Georgenia sp. SUB25 that is novel plant pathogen using next generation sequencing platform and assembly yielded contigs representing a size of 4.84 Mb with 81 tRNAs and 88 rRNAs. The whole genome sequencing has been d...

We examined the prevalence of interactions between pairs of short chromosomal regions from one species (Solanum habrochaites) co-introgressed into a heterospecific genetic background (Solanum lycopersicum). Of 105 double introgression line (DIL) families generated from a complete diallele combination of 15 chromosomal segments, 39 ( approximately 38%) showed evidence for complex epistasis in th...
