Introduction to Solanum Habrochaites

What is/are Solanum Habrochaites?

Solanum Habrochaites - In this study, we sought to understand the origins of such population-level variation in mating systems and defensive acylsugar chemistry in Solanum habrochaites—a wild tomato species found in diverse Andean habitats in Ecuador and Peru. ^[1] We found that the expression of an F-box gene family member named ShPP2-1 from Solanum habrochaites is cold inducible and studied its contribution to cold tolerance. ^[2] In the present study, effects of interspecific hybrids derived from two wild tomato species (Solanum habrochaites and Solanum penellii) as rootstock on tomato fruit mineral nutrient composition (phosphor (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), and copper (Cu)) and fruit quality traits (soluble solids content (SSC), pH, percent titratable acidity (TA), and lycopene content) were evaluated. ^[3] To obtain insights into the tomato microbiota occurring in natural environments, we sampled epiphytic microbes from leaves of four tomato species, Solanum habrochaites, S. ^[4] In green-fruited species Solanum peruvianum and Solanum arcanum, the Pho1a expression level was similar in mature green and ripe fruit, whereas in Solanum chmielewskii, it was higher in ripe fruit, and in Solanum habrochaites, the dynamics of fruit-specific Pho1a expression was similar to that in red-fruited tomatoes. ^[5] 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. ^[6]

Tomato Solanum Habrochaites

tabaci is rarely infested the non-host plants such as the wild tomato Solanum habrochaites; however, the molecular mechanism involved in the recognition of wild plant odors is still unclear. ^[1] Although the role of miR319a in regulating leaf development has been well studied in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), the function of the recently discovered wild tomato Solanum habrochaites miRNA319d (sha-miR319d) remains poorly understood. ^[2]

Wild Solanum Habrochaites

We analysed modulations of S-nitrosothiols and protein S-nitrosation mediated by S-nitrosoglutathione reductase in cultivated Solanum lycopersicum (susceptible) and wild Solanum habrochaites (resistant genotype) up to 96 h post inoculation (hpi) by two hemibiotrophic oomycetes, Phytophthora infestans and Phytophthora parasitica. ^[1] Increased production of H2O2 and subsequent oxidative stress were observed in wild Solanum habrochaites, together with increased GSNOR activity and reduced S-nitrosothiols. ^[2]
