Table tomatoes (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill) have been tested during maturation process by carrying color determination by means of instruments as well as trough sensorial analysis, aiming to stablish data correlation between both methods. Recent picked testing fruits were selected by taking into account an uniform physiological maturation considered adequate for harvesting. Fruits were presen...

Tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum ‘Early Girl’) seedling growth was evaluated in substrates containing varying proportions of ground rice hulls. Substrates were formulated containing 0, 30, 60, and 90% ground rice hulls with one-half of the treatments also treated with a surfactant. Seedling growth in two of the ground rice hull-containing substrates was generally similar to the two controls of 9...

Wounding of single leaflets of young tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum var. Bonnie Best) plants causes the release of a proteinase inhibitor inducing factor. This factor is rapidly transported throughout the plant where it causes accumulation of inhibitor I, a potent inhibitor of several serine proteinases from both animals and microorganisms. The wound-induced accumulation of inhibitor I is both...

Buah tomat (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill.) merupakan salah satu produk pangan penting, selain itu bahan baku industry dan kosmetika bahkan sebagai obat-obatan, namun produksinya masih fluktuatif dari tahun ke karena umumnya dibudidayakan pada tanah marjinal. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh pupuk kandang kambing bokasi limbah pasar terhadap pertumbuhan hasil Ultisol. Penel...

Evidence obtained on the relation between the pH of the medium and the growth of intact stem sections is compatible with the acid-growth theory only if the proton conductance of the cuticle is so low that the cuticle is an effective barrier to the entry or exit of protons from the tissue. By measuring the rate at which protons cross frozen-thawed epidermal strips of sunflower (Helianthus annuus...
