Introduction to Solanum Chilense

What is/are Solanum Chilense?

Solanum Chilense - With the aim of increasing the carotenoid content in fruit flesh, three key genes of the carotenoid pathway, phytoene synthase (DcPSY2) and lycopene cyclase (DcLCYB1) from carrots, and carotene desaturase (XdCrtI) from the yeast Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous, were optimized for expression in apple and cloned under the Solanum chilense (tomatillo) polygalacturonase (PG) fruit specific promoter. ^[1] Species in this section vary in their breeding systems, notably the expression of self-incompatibility, which determines individual propensity for outcrossing METHODS: Here, we examine the taxonomic status of obligately outcrossing Chilean wild tomato (Solanum chilense) using reduced-representation sequencing (RAD-seq), a range of phylogenetic and population genetic analyses, as well as analyses of crossing and morphological data. ^[2] Within the tomato clade, Solanum chilense is considered one of the most promising sources of genes for tomato (S. ^[3] Background Wild tomato species, like Solanum chilense, are important germplasm resources for enhanced biotic and abiotic stress resistance in tomato breeding. ^[4] We investigate NLR evolution during the colonisation of novel habitats in a model tomato species, Solanum chilense. ^[5] We investigate NLR evolution during the colonisation of novel habitats in a model tomato species, Solanum chilense. ^[6] lycopersicum is characterized for being a crop sensitive to saline stress unlike its wild relatives, such as Solanum pennellii, Solanum pimpinellifolium, Solanum habrochaites or Solanum chilense, which are tolerant. ^[7] Increases in spermidine and spermine have been positively associated with stress tolerance as these compounds provide protection in Cymodocea nodosa, and Solanum chilense, respectively. ^[8] Wild tomato species, like Solanum chilense, are important germplasm resources for enhanced biotic and abiotic stress resistance in tomato breeding. ^[9]

Species Solanum Chilense

The wild tomato species Solanum chilense is divided into geographically and genetically distinct populations that show signs of defense gene selection and differential phenotypes when challenged with several phytopathogens, including the oomycete causal agent of late blight Phytophthora infestans. ^[1] We use whole genome data from six populations across three different habitats of the wild tomato species Solanum chilense, to 1) infer the past demographic history, and 2) search for genes under strong positive selection. ^[2] To dissect and understand such variation, we evaluated the diversity of responses induced by laminarin (representing a general glucan elicitor of plant immune responses) in the wild tomato species Solanum chilense. ^[3] The wild tomato species Solanum chilense is divided in geographically and genetically distinct populations that show signs of defense gene selection and differential phenotypes when challenged with several phytopathogens, including the oomycete causal agent of late blight Phytophthora infestans. ^[4]
