Multiomics analyses reveal the roles of the ASR1 transcription factor in tomato fruits
(Oxford University Press, 2021-09)The transcription factor ASR1 (ABA, STRESS, RIPENING 1) plays multiple roles in plant responses to abiotic stresses as well as being involved in the regulation of central metabolism in several plant species. However, despite ... -
Mutation Breeding for Sustainable Food Production in Latin America and the Caribbean Under Climate Change
(Springer Nature, 2023)The region of Latin America and the Caribbean is characterized by the great diversity of crops and environmental conditions where the crops coexist under the effects of different abiotic and biotic stresses, which impact ... -
Natural occurring epialleles determine vitamin E accumulation in tomato fruits
(2014-07)Vitamin E (VTE) content is a low heritability nutritional trait for which the genetic determinants are poorly understood. Here, we focus on a previously detected major tomato VTE quantitative trait loci (QTL; mQTL9-2-6) ... -
Neuronal network analyses reveal novel associations between volatile organic compounds and sensory properties of tomato fruits
(Springer, 2018-05)Introduction The process of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) breeding has affected negatively the fruit organoleptic properties and this is evident when comparing modern cultivars with heirloom varieties. Flavor of tomato ... -
Phytochrome-dependent temperature perception modulates isoprenoid metabolism
(American Society of Plant Biologists, 2020-07)Changes in environmental temperature influence many aspects of plant metabolism; however, the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain poorly understood. In addition to their role in light perception, phytochromes (PHYs) ... -
Predatory capacity of Tupiocoris cucurbitaceus (Hemiptera Miridae) on several pests of tomato
(Department of Agroenvironmental Sciences and Technologies, Università di Bologna., 2019)The predator Tupiocoris cucurbitaceus (Spinola) is frequently found preying on whiteflies in greenhouse tomato without pesticide use in Argentina. This study evaluated its preying capacity on several pests, determining the ... -
Silencing of the tomato Sugar Partitioning Affecting protein (SPA) modifies sink strength through a shift in leaf sugar metabolism
(Wiley; Society for Experimental Biology, 2014-03)Limitations in our understanding about the mechanisms that underlie source-sink assimilate partitioning are increasingly becoming a major hurdle for crop yield enhancement via metabolic engineering. By means of a ... -
The conserved brassinosteroid-related transcription factor BIM1a negatively regulates fruit growth in tomato
(Oxford University Press, 2021-02)Brassinosteroids (BRs) are steroid hormones that play key roles in plant development and defense. Our goal is to harness the extensive knowledge of the Arabidopsis BR signaling network to improve productivity in crop ... -
The cytosolic invertase NI6 affects vegetative growth, flowering, fruit set, and yield in tomato
(Oxford University Press, 2021-03)Sucrose metabolism is important for most plants, both as the main source of carbon and via signaling mechanisms that have been proposed for this molecule. A cleaving enzyme, invertase (INV) channels sucrose into sink ... -
The genetic architecture of photosynthesis and plant growthrelated traits in tomato
(Wiley, 2018-02)To identify genomic regions involved in the regulation of fundamental physiological processes such as photosynthesis and respiration, a population of Solanum pennellii introgression lines was analyzed. We determined ... -
The genome of the stress-tolerant wild tomato species Solanum pennellii
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014-09)Solanum pennellii is a wild tomato species endemic to Andean regions in South America, where it has evolved to thrive in arid habitats. Because of its extreme stress tolerance and unusual morphology, it is an important ... -
Tomato Abscisic Acid Stress ripening (ASR) gene family revisited
(PLOS, 2014-10-13)Tomato ABSCISIC ACID RIPENING 1 (ASR1) was the first cloned plant ASR gene. ASR orthologs were then cloned from a large number of monocot, dicot and gymnosperm plants, where they are mostly involved in response to abiotic ... -
Transcriptional regulation of tocopherol biosynthesis in tomato
(Springer, 2013-02)Tocopherols, compounds with vitamin E (VTE) activity, are potent lipid-soluble antioxidants synthesized only by photosynthetic organisms. Their biosynthesis requires the condensation of phytyl-diphosphate and homogentisate, ...
