Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The esculent Lycopersicon esculentum, long thought to be poisonous, has become a major U. S. food crop and source of vitamins and minerals, thanks largely to genetic modification and new production technology Rick (1978) Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. ) is one of the most important solana ceous vegetable crops grown worldwide under outdoor and indoor conditions. It has become an important commercial crop so far as the area, production, industrial values and its contribution to human nutrition is concerned. During the past few decades tremendous developments have contributed to the knowledge and understanding of various areas of genetics, breeding and biotechnology and voluminous literature has been generated. The purpose of preparing this monograph is to give a comprehensive up-to-date treatment to the various aspects of genetic improvement of tomato. The emphasis has been placed on cytology, classical and molecular genetics, reproductive biology, germplasm resources, hybrid seed production, use of wild taxa, selection/ breeding methods, breeding for abiotic and biotic stresses, processing and quality breeding, improvement for mechanical harvesting, and biotechnology: tissue culture, protoplast fusion, and genetic transformation. These topics are presented in 22 different chapters. However, a few aspects have been discussed in more than one chapter. For example, seed production is treated in chapters 1, 4 and 8; molecular biology/genetic engineering in chapters 3 and 22 and heterosis in chapters 8 and 16.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental conditions and changes, irrespective of source, cause a variety of stresses, one of the most prevalent of which is salt stress. Excess amount of salt in the soil adversely affects plant growth and development, and impairs production. Nearly 20% of the world’s cultivated area and nearly half of the world’s irrigated lands are affected by salinity. Processes such as seed germination, seedling growth and vigour, vegetative growth, flowering and fruit set are adversely affected by high salt concentration, ultimately causing diminished economic yield and also quality of produce. Most plants cannot tolerate salt-stress. High salt concentrations decrease the osmotic potential of soil solution, creating a water stress in plants and severe ion toxicity. The interactions of salts with mineral nutrition may result in nutrient imbalances and deficiencies. The consequence of all these can ultimately lead to plant death as a result of growth arrest and molecular damage. To achieve salt-tolerance, the foremost task is either to prevent or alleviate the damage, or to re-establish homeostatic conditions in the new stressful environment. Barring a few exceptions, the conventional breeding techniques have been unsuccessful in transferring the salt-tolerance trait to the target species. A host of genes encoding different structural and regulatory proteins have been used over the past 5–6 years for the development of a range of abiotic stress-tolerant plants. It has been shown that using regulatory genes is a more effective approach for developing stress-tolerant plants. Thus, understanding the molecular basis will be helpful in developing selection strategies for improving salinity tolerance. This book will shed light on the effect of salt stress on plants development, proteomics, genomics, genetic engineering, and plant adaptations, among other topics. The book will cover around 25 chapters with contributors from all over the world.

Book excerpt: Plant hormones and ion transporters are key elements for plant salt tolerance. To investigate the potential involvement of jasmonic acid (JA) and root ammonium transporters (AMTs) in salt tolerance, salt stress responses of tomato (Solanum lycopersicon) JA-deficient mutant def-1 (defenseless-1) and two tomato species (S. lycopersicon and S. pennellii) varying in salt tolerance were analyzed, respectively. The physiological and biochemical analyses of def-1 under salt stress showed a reduction in nitrogen (N) content and an increase in hydrogen peroxide and malondialdehyde compared to the wild type (WT) plants. The ROS (reactive oxygen species)-associated injury phenotype for def-1 was associated with lower activity of both enzymatic antioxidants and non-enzymatic antioxidants. These findings suggest that JA plays a role in maintaining N and ROS homeostasis under salt stress. The results of the bioinformatics analysis for tomato AMTs indicated that the three known genes belong to the plant AMT1 subfamily (electreogenic NH4+ transport system) and five new genes were found in the plant AMT2 subfamily (electroneutral NH3 transport system). Gene expression analysis revealed that tomato roots expressed two members of the AMT1 subfamily (involved in NH4+ uptake) and one member of the AMT2 subfamily (potentially involved in the efflux of the gaseous NH3 species). The comparative analysis between S. lycopersicon and the wild species S. pennellii under salt stress, indicated that the latter is more salt tolerant. In root tissues of both species, the expression of key genes for NO3− uptake and assimilation were reduced under salt stress. However, salt tolerance of S. pennellii was coupled with higher relative mRNA levels of NH4+ uptake genes (AMT1-type transporters, AMT1.1 and AMT1.2) and assimilation genes. These findings suggest that AMTs are involved in salt tolerance by facilitating the NH4+ uptake and reducing the energy requirements for growth. Overall, the results of my research improve our understanding of salinity tolerance and will be beneficial to improve tomato growth in saline soil.

This book was released on 2023-10-30 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drought and salinity are two of the foremost environmental factors which restrict plant growth and yield in several regions of the world, especially in arid and semi‐arid regions. Due to global climate change, drought and salinity are predicted to become more widespread and eventually result in reduced plant growth and productivity in numerous plant species. Exposure of plants to extreme drought or salt stress ceases plant growth, while plants exposed to moderate stress generally show a slight change in their growth performance. Scientists are facing the challenging task of producing 70% more food to feed an additional 2.3 billion people by 2050. Therefore, it is imperative to develop stress-resilient crops with better yield under drought and salt stress to meet the food requirements of upcoming generations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soil salinity is a key abiotic-stress and poses serious threats to crop yields and quality of produce. Owing to the underlying complexity, conventional breeding programs have met with limited success. Even genetic engineering approaches, via transferring/overexpressing a single ‘direct action gene’ per event did not yield optimal results. Nevertheless, the biotechnological advents in last decade coupled with the availability of genomic sequences of major crops and model plants have opened new vistas for understanding salinity-responses and improving salinity tolerance in important glycophytic crops. Our goal is to summarize these findings for those who wish to understand and target the molecular mechanisms for producing salt-tolerant and high-yielding crops. Through this 2-volume book series, we critically assess the potential venues for imparting salt stress tolerance to major crops in the post-genomic era. Accordingly, perspectives on improving crop salinity tolerance by targeting the sensory, ion-transport and signaling mechanisms are presented here in volume 1. Volume 2 will focus on the potency of post-genomic era tools that include RNAi, genomic intervention, genome editing and systems biology approaches for producing salt tolerant crops.
