Transcription profiling of tomato - humidity effects on fruit wax biosynthesis
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: After a standard cultivation program of six weeks, tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum L.) cultivar MicroTom were grown under different conditions of atmospheric humidity and soil irrigation. The atmospheric humidity was adjusted to 40% and 80%, respectively. To regulate soil moisture, all potted plants were substrate saturated watered once a week. Furthermore, only a group of these plants was irrigated to assure optimally growing conditions (optimal watering conditions), whereas a second group had to cope with little water supply (no watering conditions). Mature green fruits were investigated (fruit developmental category II). Samples contained exclusively the fruit peel, which was removed with a scalpel to a depth of approximately 1 mm. After sampling point the plant material was immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80 C until use.
