Insights into the Genetics Underlying the Resistance to Root-Knot Nematode Reproduction in the Common Bean Ouro Negro.

Root-knot nematodes (RKNs, spp.) have become the major yield-limiting biological factor in common bean production in many warmer-climate regions such as the south of Europe. Broadening the genetic base of resistance in elite common bean cultivars is the most effective and environmentally friendly method for managing this disease.

Respiratory burst oxidase G (SlRBOHG): A key regulator of HO-Mediated Na homeostasis and salt tolerance in tomato.

Regulation of sodium homeostasis is vital for plant responses to salinity. In this study, we characterized two allelic tomato mutants, sodium gatherer1-2 (sga1-2), which show extreme salt sensitivity. The mutants display early severe chlorosis, swelling of aerial parts, and eventual leaf desiccation, leading to plant death.

A Tomato EMS-Mutagenized Population Provides New Valuable Resources for Gene Discovery and Breeding of Developmental Traits.

Tomato ( L.) is a major horticultural crop and a model species among eudicots, especially for traits related to reproductive development. Although considerable progress has been made since the tomato genome sequence project was completed, most of the genes identified remain predictions with an unknown or hypothetical function.
