ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGP) was purified from tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) fruit to apparent homogeneity. By sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis the enzyme migrated as two close bands with molecular weights of 50,000 and 51,000. Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis of the purified enzyme, however, revealed at least five major protei...

Tomato crop is primarily infected by various common diseases like Bacterial Canker, bird's-eye fruit spots, Bacterial Spot, Chlorosis, Curly Top, Early Blight, Fusarium Wilt, Gray Leaf, Gray Mold Rot, Leaf Mold, Leaf Roll and Leaf Curl, Powdery mildew, Septoria Leaf Spot, Tobacco Mosaic Virus, Verticillium Wilt. The presented work describes a algorithm for different disease detection based on t...

abstract tomato spotted wilt virus (tswv) was detected in tomato leaf and fruit samples collected from viiramin reyion in tehran province using indicator test plants including petunia hybrida, nicatiana glutinosa, n. tabacum cv. snmsun nn, n. clevelandit and n. benthamiana and seroloyical tests. small browinsh local necrotic lesions appeared on p. hybrida leaves 2-4 days post-inoculation. syste...

A severe disease of tomato was observed in 2010 in a greenhouse in the province of Lecce (Apulia, southern Italy). Plants showed interveinal yellowing and thickening of mature leaves and a bushy appearance of the new growth. Pale-yellow spots, which became sunken and necrotic, were scattered on the fruit surface. Leaf symptoms were reminiscent of those induced by Tomato chlorosis virus (ToCV) o...

the effects of different levels of nitrogen (100, 200, 300 and 400 mg/l) and potassium (125, 250 and 375 mg/l) on yield and leaf n and k concentrations of tomato were investigated in perlit culture using a factorial randomized design with three replications. the highest fruit yield was obtained with 200 mg/l n. higher levels of nitrogen decreased tomato yield. with increasing nitrogen concentra...

The effects of salinity and supplied calcium chloride on growth and leaf ions concentration of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) were investigated in Gorgan, Iran. A factorial experiment was conducted based on RCBD with four NaCl levels (0, 50, 100, and 150 mM) and four CaCl2 levels (0, 100, 200 and 300 mg L-1). Data of growth, yield and leaf’s Ca, K, and Na content were subjected to analyze ...
