Summary: The study found that the defense responses to oligogalacturonides (OGs) perception in tomato roots and shoots are different, with more significant changes observed in roots, even upon foliar application of OGs. OGs treatment activates the synthesis of defense-related hormones and secondary metabolites, inducing systemic resistance to Botrytis cinerea in plants.

Summary: The study identified and isolated two tomato genes similar to Arabidopsis genes, SlCBL4 and SlCIPK24, which can enhance salt tolerance in transgenic tomato plants. The overexpression of these genes resulted in increased Na+ and K+ contents in roots under salt stress, suggesting their potential use in engineering salt-tolerant tomato plants.

Summary: This study evaluated the genetic structure and pathogen resistance of tomato varieties in Kazakhstan using molecular markers. The results showed a weak genetic structure in the samples, with local varieties closely related to Russian and ex-USSR varieties. Most local varieties lacked resistance markers for various pathogens, indicating the need for further research to support tomato breeding in Kazakhstan.

Summary: The helper NLRs Nrc2 and Nrc3 play important roles in the immunity of tomato plants to the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pst) mediated by the sensor NLR Prf and the Pto kinase. They act additively with Prf/Pto and upstream of MAPK signaling. However, they are not required for programmed cell death triggered by another sensor NLR mediating Pst resistance.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of the dgt mutation on plant hydraulics and leaf gas exchange in tomato plants. The dgt mutant shows reduced vessel diameter and conduit number in petioles and stems, resulting in lower hydraulic conductivities. Interestingly, despite similar root characteristics, the dgt mutant has lower root hydraulic conductance. Additionally, the increased vein and stomatal density in the dgt mutant does not lead to higher leaf gas exchange due to compromised hydraulic efficiency.

Summary: Tomato crops in Brazil are affected by viral diseases such as ToSRV, ToCV, GRSV, and TCSV. Mixed infections can lead to synergistic interactions and resistance breakdown. This study evaluated the interaction between ToCV and orthotospoviruses in tomato plants with the Sw-5 gene, as well as the attractiveness of ToCV-infected plants to thrips. The results showed that ToCV pre-infection did not influence the effectiveness of the Sw-5 resistance gene against GRSV under field conditions.

Summary: Commercial tomatoes are complex hybrids with resistance genes from wild Solanum species. The response of tomato cultivars with resistance to root-knot nematodes (RKN) and Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) to infection by Meloidogyne javanica was studied. Different combinations of resistance genes were tested, and the results showed that RKN-resistant plants effectively suppressed nematode infection and reproduction. However, the RKN + TYLCV plants were less effective in controlling nematode infection, and their resistance levels were reduced in the field. TYLCV-resistant plants also showed reduced nematode infection and reproduction.

This study found that the chitin monomer N-acetylglucosamine (N-GlcNAc) can function as a microbial signaling molecule, positively influencing the community structure and metabolism of tomato rhizosphere microbiome. These findings provide new insights on how to enhance the benefits and stability of PGPRs in practical agricultural applications.

Summary: Jasmonates (JAs), derived from phospholipids, are hormones that regulate plant development and response to stress. Recent studies have revealed that the synthesis of JAs is regulated through a MYC2 pathway and terminated by a MYC2-targeting bHLH1 protein. The functions of JAs include promoting fruit ripening, regulating color development, and improving aroma components in agricultural crops. JA signaling pathways also enhance biotic and abiotic stress resistance and alleviate cold damage in crops. These findings highlight the importance of JAs in regulating plant growth, ripening, and stress resistance.

Summary: This study investigated the combination use of Flos Sophorae Immaturus extract and thermal treatment to retard browning in fresh-cut potatoes. The combination treatment effectively regulated the activities of enzymes and the accumulation of phenol, as well as the concentrations of nitric oxide, reactive oxygen species, and malondialdehyde. In addition, 39 phytoactive compounds were identified in the extract. These findings suggest that the combination technology can modulate the balance between nitric oxide and reactive oxygen species, thereby reducing browning deterioration and offering a novel option for fresh-cut preservation.

Summary: This study investigates the variations in lipid digestion profiles among individuals of different ages using in vitro digestion models. The findings suggest that adults have a more comprehensive lipid digestion compared to infants, and infants tend to release shorter chain length and more saturated free fatty acids during digestion. Additionally, the particle sizes in the stomach of the elderly were consistently larger. This study enhances our understanding of how lipids with different degrees of unsaturation undergo digestion in diverse age groups.

Summary: This study investigated the acidification of aroma-enhanced black tea during storage. Analysis of non-volatile substances and organic acids using UPLC-Q-TOF/MS and HPLC revealed a decrease in soluble sugars and amino acids, while an increase in organic acids such as oxalic acid, malic acid, and quinic acid. In vitro experiments further demonstrated that the acidification is a result of the decomposition of sugars and amino acids by heating, as well as the oxidation of aromatic aldehydes. Additionally, the study showed that the taste composition of tea infusion is altered, with reduced amino acids, catechins, soluble sugars, and flavonoids. This research provides a theoretical basis for improving the quality of black tea.
