Abstract The storage of fruits and vegetables at low temperature near the freezing point is foremost technology applied to retard postharvest ripening extend shelf‐life period agricultural products. However, most tropical subtropical produce sensitive chilling injury, which constitutes a set physiological alterations caused by exposure temperatures for variable time periods, detriment quality. This article thorough review physiological, hormonal molecular mechanisms involved in induction...
Abstract Breeding for drought-tolerant crops is a pressing issue due to the increasing frequency and duration of droughts caused by climate change. Although important sources variation drought tolerance exist in wild relatives, mechanisms key genes controlling tomato are little known. The aim this study determine response relative Solanum pennellii ( Sp ) compared with cultivated lycopersicum Sl ). paper investigates physiological molecular responses leaves plants without stress moderate...
Polyphenol content, free radical scavenging capacity, and changes during storage over 7 months in the dark were studied ecological conventional red white wines. In wines, most changeable components anthocyanins since content decreased 88% wine 91% wine. Initially, total flavonol contents of wines 163.88 +/- 2.69 153.58 1.71 mg/L, respectively, no significant variations occurred storage. No differences hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives between observed. The level was very low, as expected...
Compared to other melon types, Cantaloupe Charentais melons are highly aromatic with a major contribution the aroma being made by aliphatic and branched esters. Using transgenic line in which synthesis of plant hormone ethylene has been considerably lowered antisense ACC oxidase mRNA (AS), ester pathway steps at exerts its regulatory role were found. The data show that production esters such as hexyl butyl acetate was blocked AS fruit could be reversed ethylene. discs incubated presence...
ABSTRACT Non‐freezing low temperature storage causes injury to melons and most other fruit vegetables of tropical subtropical origin. We demonstrate here that ethylene suppression through an antisense ACC oxidase (ACO) gene considerably reduced the sensitivity Charentais cantaloupe chilling injury. In contrast wild‐type fruit, ACO did not develop characteristic pitting browning rind neither when stored at (3 weeks 2 °C) nor upon rewarming. Treating with 10 p.p.m. for more than 1 d prior cold...
Salt stress generally induces important negative effects on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) productivity but it may also cause a positive effect improving fruit quality, one of the greatest challenges in nowadays agriculture. Because genetic erosion this horticultural species, recovery locally adapted landraces could play very role avoiding, at least partially, production losses and simultaneously quality. Two endemic Spanish Southeast area, characterized by harsh climatic conditions...
Climate change and a rising world population make generation of crops with enhanced abiotic stress tolerance higher nutritive value priority objective in agriculture. In this review we have summarized recent advances on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), the most important horticultural species regarding production nutritional quality. Firstly, different complex processes evolved are summarized, special attention responses to osmotic, oxidative ionic stress, as well anatomical changes involved...
A comparative proteomic analysis between tomato fruits stored at chilling and non-chilling temperatures was carried out just before the appearance of visible symptoms injury. At this stage stress period it possible to discriminate proteins involved in implicated response. To investigate changes fruit proteome under specific stressful condition, two-dimensional differential in-gel electrophoresis coupled with spot identification by mass spectrometry applied. This approach allowed...
Summary A screening under salt stress conditions of a T‐ DNA mutant collection tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum L.) led to the identification altered response 1 ars1 ) mutant, which showed salt‐sensitive phenotype. Genetic analysis mutation revealed that single insertion in ARS gene was responsible coded for an R1‐ MYB type transcription factor and its expression induced by salinity leaves. The reduced fruit yield acclimation while absence disruption did not affect this agronomic trait....
Characterization of a new tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) T-DNA mutant allowed for the isolation CALCINEURIN B-LIKE PROTEIN 10 (SlCBL10) gene whose lack function was responsible severe alterations observed in shoot apex and reproductive organs under salinity conditions. Physiological studies proved that SlCBL10 is required to maintain proper low Na+/Ca2+ ratio growing tissues allowing growth salt stress. Expression analysis main genes Na+ compartmentalization (i.e. Na+/H+ EXCHANGERs, SALT...
Identification of tomato varieties able to exhibit higher accumulation primary and secondary metabolites in their fruits is currently a main objective breeding. One tool improve fruit quality cultivate the plants under salt stress, although improvement generally accompanied by productivity losses. However, it very interesting implement strategies aiming at enhancing means growing moderate stress that allows for sustainable yield. The traditional adapted Mediterranean environmental...
