In contrast to climacteric fruits such as tomato, the knowledge on key regulatory genes controlling ripening of strawberry, a nonclimacteric fruit, is still limited. NAC transcription factors (TFs) mediate different developmental processes in plants. Here, we identified and characterized Ripening Inducing Factor (FaRIF), TF that highly expressed induced strawberry receptacles during ripening. Functional analyses based stable transgenic lines aimed at silencing FaRIF by RNA interference,...
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...
Tomato cell wall-associated kinase 1 (SlWAK1) has only been studied in biotic stress response and hence its function abiotic remains unknown. In a screening under salinity of an insertional mutant collection tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.), exhibiting lower degree leaf chlorosis than wild type (WT) together with reduced Na+ accumulation was selected. Genetic analysis the mutation revealed that single T-DNA insertion SlWAK1 gene responsible phenotype. Slwak1 null shoot growth compared WT,...
Abstract The extraction of proteins from macroalgae has always been difficult, primarily because their high internal levels polysaccharides and polyphenols. Several methods for protein have developed recently that allow the production quality extracts 1-D SDS gel electrophoresis or 2-D SDS-polyacrylamide proteomic analysis. However, none existing are applicable to study phosphorylation state kinases involved in stress responses macroalgae, trichloroacetic acid phenol used precipitation. In...
Woodland strawberry (Fragaria vesca subsp. vesca) is a wild relative of cultivated (F. × ananassa) producing small and typically conical fruits with an intense flavor aroma. The species, F. vesca, rich resource genetic metabolic variability, but its diversity remains largely unexplored unexploited. In this study, we aim for in-depth characterization the fruit complex volatilome by GC–MS as well size shape using European germplasm collection that represents continental species. We report...
Pollination and therefore fruit set in tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum ) is very sensitive to temperature. Parthenocarpy can be a useful trait breeding sustainable agriculture faced with global warming. Within collection of Moneymaker mutants monogenic recessive mutant high number was identified heat stress conditions named under hfs ). No morphological alterations vegetative reproductive organs were observed except the bigger size ovary. parthenocarpic, pollination not being required for set,...
Salinity is responsible for important yield losses in crops, among them tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), a horticultural crop of the highest agro-economic importance. Comparing responses to salinity domesticated and wild-relative species, displaying different degrees tolerance, could give key insights strategies used by latter ones successfully confront salt stress, as well identify genes involved such tolerance mechanisms wild species. The behaviour stress condition cultivar (cv Moneymaker)...
