Genes involved in auxin biosynthesis, transport and signalling underlie the extreme adventitious root phenotype of the tomato aer mutant
Theor Appl Genet. 2024 Mar 8;137(4):76. doi: 10.1007/s00122-024-04570-8.ABSTRACTThe use of tomato rootstocks has helped to alleviate the soaring abiotic stresses provoked by the adverse effects of climate change. Lateral and adventitious roots can improve topsoil exploration and nutrient uptake, shoot biomass and resulting overall yield. It is essential to understand the genetic basis of root structure development and how lateral and adventitious roots are produced. Existing mutant lines with specific root phenotypes are an excellent resource to analyse and comprehend the molecular basis of root developmental traits. The t...

Viruses, Vol. 16, Pages 415: Bactericera cockerelli Picorna-like Virus and Three New Viruses Found Circulating in Populations of Potato/Tomato Psyllids (Bactericera cockerelli)
V. Karasev
An investigation of viruses circulating in populations of field and laboratory potato/tomato psyllids (Bactericera cockerelli) was conducted using high-throughput sequencing (HTS) technology and conventional RT-PCR. Three new viruses were discovered: one from the family Tymoviridae and two from the family Solemoviridae. A tymo-like virus sequence represented a nearly complete 6843 nt genome of a virus named Bactericera cockerelli tymo-like virus (BcTLV) that spanned five open reading frames (ORFs) which encoded RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP), helicase, protease, methyltransferase, and a capsid protein....

Quantifying terpenes in tomato leaf extracts from different species using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)
This study employed two distinct methods, namely leaf dip and maceration, to extract trichomes from tomato leaves. Terpene quantification was carried out using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). The leaf dip method proved effective in selectively targeting trichome content, revealing unique extraction patterns compared to maceration. The GC-MS method demonstrated high linearity, accuracy, sensitivity, and low limits of detection and quantification. Application of the method to different tomato species (Solanum pennellii, Solanum pimpinellifolium, Solanum galapagense, Solanum habrochaites, and Solanum lycopersicu...

The complete genome sequence of tomato necrotic ringspot virus in chilli in Thailand derived from next-generation sequencing
AbstractTomato necrotic ringspot virus (TNRV) was first reported in Thailand in 2011, where it continues to reduce the yield and quality of pepper and tomato crops. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of TNRV isolate chilli-CR derived from next-generation sequencing. The TNRV genome comprises 16,595 nucleotides (nt) on three RNA segments. The L RNA is 8,858 nt, the M RNA is 4,724 nt, and the S RNA is 3,013 nt in length. The genome structure and organization are typical of orthotospoviruses, encoding five proteins, named L, NSm, GNGC, NSs, and N. Pairwise comparison of each genomic RNA segment and its deduced amino...

Extreme restructuring of < i > cis < /i > -regulatory regions controlling a deeply conserved plant stem cell regulator
by Danielle Ciren, Sophia Zebell, Zachary B. Lippman
A striking paradox is that genes with conserved protein sequence, function and expression pattern over deep time often exhibit extremely divergentcis-regulatory sequences. It remains unclear how such drasticcis-regulatory evolution across species allows preservation of gene function, and to what extent these differences influence howcis-regulatory variation arising within species impacts phenotypic change. Here, we investigated these questions using a plant stem cell regulator conserved in expression pattern and function over ~125 million years. Usingin-vivo genome edit...

Uptake and translocation of brominated flame retardants in tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum L.): Results from a standard soil-based biotest
Chemosphere. 2024 Mar 1:141594. doi: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.141594. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe uptake and translocation of four polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and four novel brominated flame retardants (NBFRs) in tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum L.) were investigated via the RHIZOtest, a standard soil-based biotest, optimized for organic compounds. Tomato plants were exposed to soil samples spiked with 0 (i.e. control), 5.00 or 50.00 ng g-1dw of each compound. Compared of those of the control, exposure to increasing spiking concentrations resulted in average reductions of 13% and 26% (w/w) in tomato p...

Genes, Vol. 15, Pages 326: Genome-Wide Investigation of the PLD Gene Family in Tomato: Identification, Analysis, and Expression
In this study, 14 PLD genes were identified in the tomato genome and were localized on eight chromosomes, and one tandem-duplicated gene pair was identified. According to a phylogenetic analysis, the genes were categorized into four subtypes: SlPLD&alpha;, &beta;, and &delta; belonged to the C2-PLD subfamily, while SlPLD&zeta; belonged to the PXPH-PLD subfamily. The gene structure and protein physicochemical properties were highly conserved within the same subtype. The promoter of all the SlPLD genes contained hormone-, light-, and stress-responsive cis-acting regulatory elements, but no sig...
