Nitrogen supply affects seed yield and quality in tomato plants
(2022)
Nitrogen fertilization is one of the main practices in agriculture and its effects on yield and quality of most commodity products are widely known. However, the nitrogen response in seed production is still not well ...
Nutritional evaluation of dried tomato seeds
(Oxford Academic Press, 2003-01)
Two samples of tomato seeds, a by-product of the tomato canning industry were evaluated to determine proximate analysis, amino acid content, and digestibility, TMEn, and protein efficiency ratio. Tomato seeds were also ...
The Effects of Priming and Ageing on Seed Vigour in Tomato
(Oxford University Press, 1989-05)
A comparison was made of the effects of seed priming or ageing treatments on the performance of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. UC204C) seeds according to a number of indices of seed vigour. A single lot of tomato ...
Transcriptome analysis in osmo-primed tomato seeds with enhanced longevity by heat shock treatment
(2020-08-19)
Seed priming is widely used in commercial seeds and its main function is to accelerate and synchronize seed germination. Undesirably, primed seeds show reduced longevity and treatments like heat shock have been shown to ...
Identification of a seed maturation protein gene from Coffea arabica (CaSMP) and analysis of its promoter activity in tomato
(2018-09-01)
Key message: A seed maturation protein gene (CaSMP) from Coffea arabica is expressed in the endosperm of yellow/green fruits. The CaSMP promoter drives reporter expression in the seeds of immature tomato fruits. Abstract: ...
Osmo-priming in tomato seeds down-regulates genes associated with stress response and leads to reduction in longevity
(2021-01-01)
Tomato seeds subjected to osmo-priming show fast and more uniform germination. However, osmo-priming reduces seed longevity, which is a complex seed physiological attribute influenced by several mechanisms, including ...
Microbial endophytes that live within the seeds of two tomato hybrids cultivated in Argentina
(MDPI AG, 2018-08)
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is probably the most important vegetable consumed around the world, and like other produce is affected by stresses and diseases that reduce the yield and production. The purpose of this ...
Influence of Seed Vigor and Preplant Herbicides on Emergence, Growth, and Yield of Tomato
(American Society for Horticultural Science, 1990-03)
The interactions of seed vigor with herbicides were studied with respect to seedling emergence, growth, and fruit yield of processing tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. UC204C). Seed vigor (speed of germination) ...
