Evaluation of the genotype, environment and their interaction on carotenoid and ascorbic acid accumulation in tomato germplasm
Wiley-Blackwell (2011-04)BACKGROUND: Tomatoes are an important source of antioxidants (carotenoids, vitamin C, etc.) owing to their high level of consumption. There is great interest in developing cultivars with increased levels of lycopene, ... -
Evidence for a Role of Gibberellins in Salicylic Acid-Modulated Early Plant Responses to Abiotic Stress in Arabidopsis Seeds
American Society of Plant Biologists (2009)Exogenous application of gibberellic acid (GA3) was able to reverse the inhibitory effect of salt, oxidative, and heat stresses in the germination and seedling establishment of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), this ... -
Exogenous Carbon Compounds Modulate Tomato Root Development
MDPI (2020)NO3 − is not only a nutrient, but also a signaling compound that plays an important role in several plant processes, like root development. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of three different exogenous ... -
Exogenous strigolactones impact metabolic profilesand phosphate starvation signalling in roots
Wiley (2020)Strigolactones (SLs) are important ex‐planta signalling molecules in the rhizosphere, promoting the association with beneficial microorganisms, but also affecting plant interactions with harmful organisms. They are also ... -

Elsevier (2012-01)The genotypic potential for high l-ascorbic acid content of 15 accessions of S. lycopersicon and S. pimpinellifolium has been evaluated in three environments, including open-air and glasshouse cultivation and two localities. ... -
Expression of a Fungal Lectin in Arabidopsis Enhances Plant Growth and Resistance Toward Microbial Pathogens and a Plant-Parasitic Nematode
Frontiers Media (2021-04-09)Coprinopsis cinerea lectin 2 (CCL2) is a fucoside-binding lectin from the basidiomycete C. cinerea that is toxic to the bacterivorous nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as well as animal-parasitic and fungivorous nematodes. ... -
Expression of miR159 Is Altered in Tomato Plants Undergoing Drought Stress
MDPI (2019)In a scenario of global climate change, water scarcity is a major threat for agriculture, severely limiting crop yields. Therefore, alternatives are urgently needed for improving plant adaptation to drought stress. Among ... -
Expression of two barley proteinase inhibitors in tomato promotes endogenous defensive response and enhances resistance to Tuta absoluta
