Project description:In this study, we explored the metabolome and transcriptome of the ripe fruit in nine landrace accessions representing the seven genetic groups and compared them to the mature fruit of the wild progenitor S. pimpinellifolium. The goal is to shed light in understanding the factors responsible for acquiring tomato fruit quality (taste and flavour) at molecular level during the domestication process.

Project description:Epigenetic Variation in the Regulation of Tomato Fruit Quality Traits
Project description:In the present study, we demonstrated that application of CaCl2 to ‘Micro Tom’ tomato fruit (mature green stage) delayed fruit senescence and mature.
Project description:We sequenced mRNA from immature green (15 days after anthesis) and red (Breaker+10 days) tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) fruit tissues from plants over-expressing SlGLK1 and SlGLK2 and from control plants 'M82' to compare gene expression levels between transgenic fruit and the control. Note: Samples in SRA were assigned the same sample accession. This is incorrect as there are different samples, hence “Source Name” was replaced with new values. Comment[ENA_SAMPLE] contains the original SRA sample accessions.
Project description:Plants represent the nutritional basis of virtually all life on earth and protein-rich foods from crop plants are a global megatrend essential for sustaining an increasing human population and counteracting climate change. While the genomes of crops are increasingly elucidated, little is known about crop proteomes – the entirety of proteins that execute and control nearly every aspect of life. To address this shortcoming we optimized a protocol for mapping the proteome of different crops such as Solanum lycopersicum (tomato) fruit and included four technical replicates and three biological replicates from different tomato plants to demonstrate the robustness of the workflow.
