[EN] Tomato plants infected with the citrus exocortis viroid exhibited strongly elevated levels of a compound identified as 2,5-dihydroxy-benzoic acid (gentisic acid, GA) 5-O-beta-D-xylopyranoside. The compound accumulated ...
The postharvest evolution of Penjar tomatoes has been studied in four accessions representative of the variability of the varietal type. The long-term shelf life of these materials, which carry the alc allele, was confirmed ...
Pepino mosaic virus (PepMV) disease causes important losses in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) yield around the world. In order to find new sources of resistance to this virus, a collection of accessions from different ...
The tomato wild relative species Solanum habrochaites (previously known as Lycopersicon hirsutum) is a potential source of novel genes for tomato breeding. It shows resistance to many diseases and pests, cold tolerance and ...
BACKGROUND: The tomato leafminer (Tuta absoluta Povolny) has rapidly colonised the whole Mediterranean and South-Atlantic coasts of Spain, and it has become a key problem in both outdoor and greenhouse crops. New control ...
Trujillo Moya, Carlos; Gisbert Domenech, María Carmen(Springer Verlag (Germany), 2012-10)
[EN] The influence of ethylene and ethylene modulators on the in vitro organogenesis of tomato was studied using a highly regenerating accession of the wild tomato Solanum pennellii and an F1 plant resulting from a cross ...
[EN] Following consumer complaints about the quality of modern varieties of tomato, landraces have strengthened their quality markets. In Spain, two tomato landraces, 'Montserrat' and 'Pera Girona', are grown in contiguous ...
