Tomato is one of the most consumed vegetables, with abundant pests and diseases problems limiting its production. This research had two objectives: in first one, morphological characteristics five different tomato populations, were described; second, yield response candidate-to-be varieties genotypes was evaluated when submitted to chemical or biological control pest that commonly attack crop. ...

This experiment aims at establishing the ability of the endomycorrhizal fungus Glomus intraradices to suppress the plant pathogen Pythium ultimum in cherry tomato. A study published in Canadian Journal of Plant Pathology in 1994 showed that Glomus intraradices suppresses Pythium ultimum in Tagetes patula (french marigold) (St-Arnaud, Fortin, Caron, & Hamel, 1994). Pythium ultimum and other Pyth...

Growth of cell suspension cultures of tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv VFNT-Cherry, in the presence of cadmium is inhibited by buthionine sulfoximine, an inhibitor of glutathione synthesis. Cell growth and phytochelatin synthesis are restored to cells treated with buthionine sulfoximine by the addition of glutathione to the medium. Glutathione stimulates the accumulation of phytochelati...

Production of cherry tomatoes in Indonesia is still low, which might be due to the inappropriate planting and maintenance processes. This research applied biological agent microorganisms Streptomyces sp. Trichoderma as Plant Growth Promoting Microorganisms (PGPM) sustainable agricultural systems. study aimed determine effect concentration on growth production tomato plants polybag scale. The wa...

Softening, which accompanies ripening fruits is also to a large extent, responsible for the damage that occurs during handling and shipping. The effects of 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) application at different ripening stages (mature green, breaker, breaker + 2 days and breaker + 4 days) on cellulase and pectinase activities of cherry tomato fruit (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. var. cerasiforme...

A satellite DNA of buoyant density 1.704 constitutes approximately 5%-6% of nuclear DNA isolated from cherry tomato leaves. Isolated satellite DNA exhibits a multi-component melting profile. Kinetic complexity measurements indicate that 37% of the satellite consists of repeating units of 10( 5) daltons, and 48% of it consists of repeating units of 5.5 x 10(6) daltons. The latter component is id...
