Genomic Designing for Climate-Smart Tomato
Tomato is the first vegetable consumed in the world. It is grown in very different conditions and areas, mainly in field for processing tomatoes while fresh-market tomatoes are often produced in greenhouses. T...

Genotype by watering regime interaction in cultivated tomato: lessons from linkage map** and gene expression
In tomato, genotype by watering interaction resulted from genotype re-ranking more than scale changes. Interactive QTLs according to watering regime were detected. Differentially expressed gene...

Challenges in Integrating Genetic Control in Plant and Crop Models
Predicting genotype-to-phenotype relationships under contrasting environments is a great challenge for plant biology and breeding. Classical crop models have been developed to predict crop yield or product qua...

Process-Based Simulation Models Are Essential Tools for Virtual Profiling and Design of Ideotypes: Example of Fruit and Root
Process-based simulation models (PBSMs) combine, in various mathematical frameworks, many biological functional hypotheses on responses of plant processes to environmental fluctuations. Model simulated respons...

Ecophysiological Process-Based Model to Simulate Carbon Fluxes in Plants
Carbon fluxes in plants have been subject to many modeling studies. The conceptual framework of models of carbon acquisition, allocation, and metabolism in plants are first introduced, together with methods to...

Anatomical and biochemical trait network underlying genetic variations in tomato fruit texture
Firmness is an indicator of fruit freshness and a main component of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) fruit texture. In this work, the genetic variability in fruit firmness and stiffness was analyzed in pre- and post...

High external sucrose concentration inhibits the expansion of detached tomato fruits grown in a novel semi-open device
The effect of sap sucrose concentration on fruit expansion is poorly understood. We investigated the effects of sucrose concentration on growth of tomato fruits, detached from the plant after the cell multipli...

Analysis of Growth and Water Relations of Tomato Fruits in Relation to Air Vapor Pressure Deficit and Plant Fruit Load
The influence of air vapor pressure deficit (VPD) and plant fruit load on the expansion and water relations of young tomato fruits grown in a glasshouse were evaluated under summer Mediterranean conditions. Th...

Number of cells in tomato fruit depending on fruit position and source-sink balance during plant development
Fruit sink strength or its ability to attract assimilates depends bothon sink activity and size. This study investigated one main component of sinksize, that is the number of fruit cells during tomato plant de...
