Transcriptional regulation-mediating ROS homeostasis and physio-biochemical changes in wild tomato (Solanum chilense) and cultivated tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) under high salinity.

ABSTRACT: Salinity intrusion is one of the biggest problems in the context of sustainable agricultural practices. The major concern and challenge in developing salt-resistance in cultivated crops is the genetic complexity of the trait and lack of natural variability for stress-responsive traits. In this context, tomato wild relatives are important and have provided novel alleles for breeding abiotic stress tolerance including salt tolerance. We provide here a case study, involving tomato wild relative Solanum chilense and cultivated variety Solanum lycopersicum, carried out under high salt stress to investigate comparative transcriptional regulation mediating ROS homeostasis and other physiological attributes. Salt dependent oxidative stress in S. lycopersicum was characterized
