A candidate gene survey of quantitative trait loci affecting chemical composition in tomato fruit
(Society for Experimental Biology, 2008-07)In tomato, numerous wild-related species have been demonstrated to be untapped sources of valuable genetic variability, including pathogen-resistance genes, nutritional, and industrial quality traits. From a collection of ... -
A tomato tocopherol-binding protein sheds light on intracellular a-tocopherol metabolism in plants
(Oxford University Press, 2018-11)Tocopherols are non-polar compounds synthesized in the plastids, which function as major antioxidants of the plant cells and are essential in the human diet. Both the intermediates and final products of the tocopherol ... -
Análisis funcional del factor de transcripción ASR1 desde una perspectiva metabólica, fisiológica y molecular en plantas de tabaco y tomate
(Facultad de Farmacia y Bioquímica, Universidad de Buenos Aires, 2014-11)La familia de genes Asr (ABA, stress, ripening) está implicada en las vías de respuestas generales a estrés y en el control del transporte de hexosas. Para profundizar en el estudio funcional del parálogo ASR1 en Solanáceas, ... -
Chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes of tomato
(2016)This chapter summarizes the main features of the tomato plastid and mitochondrial genomes in the context of the current knowledge about “orthologue” genomes from other higher plants species in a historical perspective. ... -
Científicos secuencian el genoma del tomate
(Gerencia de Comunicación e Imagen Institucional, DNA SICC, INTA, 2011-04)Un consorcio internacional, en el que participa el INTA y otras instituciones nacionales, logró identificar el código genético de este cultivo. El hallazgo permitirá implementar estrategias de mejoramiento para optimizar ... -
Contrasting metabolic profiles of tasty Andean varieties of tomato fruit in comparison with commercial ones
(Wiley, 2018-08)BACKGROUND The fruits of most commercial tomato cultivars (Solanum lycopersicum L.) are deficient in flavour. In contrast, traditional ‘criollo’ tomato varieties are appreciated for fruit of excellent organoleptic quality. ... -
Coupling virus-induced gene silencing to exogenous green fluorescence protein expression provides a highly efficient system for functional genomics in arabidopsis and across all stages of tomato fruit development
(2011-07)Since the advent of the postgenomic era, efforts have focused on the development of rapid strategies for annotating plant genes of unknown function. Given its simplicity and rapidity, virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) ... -
Data on polyphenols and biological activity analyses of an Andean tomato collection and their relationships with tomato traits and geographical origin
(2016)Data provide information about a tomato collection composed of accessions from the Andean Valley, commercial accessions and wild species. Antioxidant metabolites were measured inmature fruits of this collection, and their ... -
Dispersion and Persistence of Trichogrammatoidea bactrae (Nagaraja) over Tuta absoluta (Meyrick), in Tomato Greenhouses
(2018-08)Inundative biological control depends on the ability of natural enemies to disperse and persist in the environment. The objective was to evaluate the dispersion and persistence of Trichogrammatoidea bactrae (Nagaraja) on ... -
Galacturonosyltransferase 4 silencing alters pectin composition and carbon partitioning in tomato
(2013-04)Pectin is a main component of the plant cell wall and is the most complex family of polysaccharides in nature. Its composition is essential for the normal growth and morphology pattern, as demonstrated by pectin-defective ... -
Genetic dissection of vitamin E biosynthesis in tomato
(Society for Experimental Biology, 2011-07)Vegetables are critical for human health as they are a source of multiple vitamins including vitamin E (VTE). In plants, the synthesis of VTE compounds, tocopherol and tocotrienol, derives from precursors of the shikimate ... -
Genetic diversity of the polyphagous pest Rachiplusia nu across crops and locations in the Argentine Pampas
(Wiley, 2023-09-19)Rachiplusia nu (Guenée) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae, Plusiinae) is a defoliator of soybean (Glycine max L., Fabaceae), sunflower (Helianthus annuus L., Asteraceae), alfalfa (Medicago sativa L., Fabaceae), and horticultural ... -
Genome-wide data (ChIP-seq) enabled identification of cell wall-related and aquaporin genes as targets of tomato ASR1, a drought stress-responsive transcription factor
(BMC, 2014-01)Background: Identifying the target genes of transcription factors is important for unraveling regulatory networks in all types of organisms. Our interest was precisely to uncover the spectrum of loci regulated by a widespread ... -
Hydrophilic antioxidants from Andean tomato landraces assessed by their bioactivities in vitro and in vivo
(2016)Potential nutraceutical properties of hydrophilic antioxidants in fruits of tomato landraces collected in Andean valleys were characterised. Antioxidant metabolites were measured by HPLC-DAD-MS/MS in mature fruits and their ... -
Identification and characterization of metabolite quantitative trait loci in tomato leaves and comparison with those reported for fruits and seeds
(Springer, 2019-04)Introduction: To date, most studies of natural variation and metabolite quantitative trait loci (mQTL) in tomato have focused on fruit metabolism, leaving aside the identification of genomic regions involved in the ... -
Intraguild predation by Tupiocoris cucurbitaceus on Encarsia formosa and its influence on biological control of Trialeurodes vaporariorum
(Department of Agroenvironmental Sciences and Technologies, Università di Bologna, 2023-01-23)The predator Tupiocoris cucurbitaceus (Spinola) and the parasitoid Encarsia formosa Gahan are natural enemies of Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood) that can be found simultaneously in greenhouse tomato crops. Whether or ... -
