Ammonium transporters (AMTs) play a role in the uptake of ammonium, the form in which nitrogen is preferentially absorbed by plants. Vigna subterranea (VsAMT1) and Solanum tuberosum (StAMT1) AMT1s were characterized using molecular biology and bioinformatics methods. AMT1-specific primers were designed and used to amplify the AMT1 internal regions. Nucleotide sequencing, alignment and phylogene...

Enzymes interact to generate metabolic networks. The activities of more than 22 enzymes from central metabolism were profiled during the development of fruit of the modern tomato cultivar Solanum lycopersicum 'M82' and its wild relative Solanum pennellii (LA0716). In S. pennellii, the mature fruit remains green and contains lower sugar and higher organic acid levels. These genotypes are the par...

Because of their antioxidative capability polyphenols and vitamins are the most important naturally occurring compounds. Several widely consumed vegetables are rich in various phenolic compounds and vitamins. In this study, such vegetables as tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), eggplant (Solanum melongena), chilli pepper (Capsicum annuum), and potato (Solanum tuberosum) of the Solanaceae family were...

The effects of colonisation of roots by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) on soil respiration, plant growth, nutrition, and soil microbial communities were assessed using a mycorrhiza-defective tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) mutant and its mycorrhizal wild-type progenitor. Plants were grown in rhizocosms in an automated respiration monitoring system over the course of the experiment (79 days...

A population of 146 RILs (Recombinant Inbred Line) was derived from the cross between a cold-sensitive cultivated Solanum lycopersicum L. XF98-7 and a cold-tolerant wild Solanum pimpinellifolium LA2184. Relative germination ratio (RGR) and chilling index (CI) were used to evaluate the cold tolerance of the parental lines and RILs. It was found that the RGR and CI were significantly different be...

Tomato fruits accumulate a diverse set of volatiles including multiple esters. The content of ester volatiles is relatively low in tomato fruits (Solanum lycopersicum) and far more abundant in the closely related species Solanum pennellii. There are also qualitative variations in ester content between the two species. We have previously shown that high expression of a non-specific esterase is c...

Yabancı otlar domateste (Solanum lycopersicum L.) önemli verim ve kalite kayıplarına sebep olup, hasat işlemlerini de zorlaştırmaktadır. Organik sebze üretiminde yabancı otlarla mücadele yöntemlerinden biride malçlamadır. Bundan dolayı bu çalışmayı 2020 2021 yıllarında Iğdır’da farklı kalınlıktaki malç materyallerinin domates verimi üzerindeki etkileri belirlemek amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Çalışma...
