The influences of flax lignin and phenolic compounds obtained from spruce bark on the development of Lycopersicon esculentum plantlets were evaluated. Depending on the applied treatment and the concentrations used, the natural aromatic compounds had stimulatory effects on the germination capacity and the plantlets height and leaf area. The influence of lignin on Lycopersicon esculentum was lowe...

Lead (Pb), has, for decades, being known for its adverse effects on various body organs and systems. In the present study, the damage of Pb on the Liver tissue apoptosis was investigated, and Lycopersicon esculentum as an antioxidants source was administered orally to prevent the adverse effects of Pb. Eighteen Wistar rats, randomized into three groups (n=6), were used for this study. Animals i...

conclusions decreases of tc, ldl and tg may be related to tomato antioxidant effect. this course in human required more investigations. results results showed that in chol group, all lipids increased significantly (p < 0.05) except hdl compared to the control group. tomato and tomato paste supplementation decreased tc, ldl and tg concentration significantly (p < 0.05) compared to chol group. to...

Little is known of how plant disease resistance (R) proteins recognize pathogens and activate plant defenses. Rcr3 is specifically required for the function of Cf-2, a Lycopersicon pimpinellifolium gene bred into cultivated tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) for resistance to Cladosporium fulvum. Rcr3 encodes a secreted papain-like cysteine endoprotease. Genetic analysis shows Rcr3 is allelic to ...

conclusions the vermicompost as a potential source of plant nutrients for sustainable tomato production can reduce health and environmental problems. results the analysis of the variance results revealed that the effect of the type and amount of fertilizers on tomato yield was significant at 1% level. the results of this study showed that using the vermicompost dosage to cow manure of 500 g/m2 ...

Presence of phytochrome in two kinds of tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.), the yellow lutescent strain and cherry tomatoes (L. esculentum Mill. var. cerasiformecv. Red Cherry), was established by measuring the absorption difference spectra of the whole fruit after irradiation with red and with far red light. Phytochrome content was determined in yellow lutescent tomatoes and decreased gr...

this study sought to investigate the effects of two tomato varieties [Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. var. esculentum (Esc) and Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. var. cerasiforme (cEr)] on acetylcholinesterase (AchE) and butyrylcholinesterase (bchE) activities in vitro. Phenolics content, carotenoids characterisation, inhibition of Fe2+ and quinolinic acid-induced malondialdehyde (MDA) production in ...

A new pregnane glycoside, 3-O-beta-lycotetraosyl 5alpha-pregna-3beta,26beta-diol-20-one was isolated from overripe tomato, the fruit of Lycopersicon esculentum MILL.
