Solanum lycopersicum Seedlings. Metabolic Responses Induced by the Alkamide Affinin

Elicitor-Induced Defense Responses in Solanum lycopersicum against Ralstonia solanacearum

We investigated on important parameters of induced resistance in hydroponic tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) against Ralstonia solanacearum using the elicitors chitosan (CHT), salicylic acid (SA), and jasmonic acid (JA). The increase in total phenolic content of roots by the elicitors was significantly higher than control. Most pronounced increase in lignin synthesis was triggered by SA followed b...

Metabolic fingerprinting of Tomato Mosaic Virus infected Solanum lycopersicum.

(1)H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabolomics has been applied to study the compatible interaction between tomato plants and Tomato Mosaic Virus (ToMV). A detailed time course of metabolic fingerprinting of ToMV-inoculated and non-inoculated systemically infected tomato leaves has provided a fundamental understanding of the metabolic state of the plant not only in response to ToMV in...

Comparative study of salt stress-induced physiological and molecular responses in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)

Melatonin Alleviates High Temperature-Induced Pollen Abortion in Solanum lycopersicum.

Melatonin is a pleiotropic signal molecule that plays critical roles in regulating plant growth and development, as well as providing physiological protections against various environmental stresses. Nonetheless, the mechanisms for melatonin-mediated pollen thermotolerance remain largely unknown. In this study, we report that irrigation treatment with melatonin (20 µM) effectively ameliorated h...

EFFECT OF RATE OF ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZA INOCULUM ON TOMATO (Solanum lycopersicum) SEEDLINGS

An experiment on the effect of rate of Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) inoculum on tomato seedlings was conducted at Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Joydebpur, Gazipur, Bangladesh for two consecutive years. Seven rates of AM inoculum viz., 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0 kg/m were tested. Cowdung was used at a rate of 5 kg/m. Seeds were sown in 10 cm apart lines on 13 November 2007 a...
