Deciphering the biological processes underlying tomato biomass production and composition.


ABSTRACT: After tomato fruits harvesting huge amounts of biomass residues, including plant and immature fruit, remaining in the field can be utilized to produce bioenergy. Little is known about the molecular aspects underlying tomato plant biomass production and hydrolysis. To identify genes involved in the regulation of plant biomass accumulation and composition, two Solanum pennellii introgression lines (ILs) with contrasting phenotypes for plant architecture and biomass characteristics, were analyzed. A multiple approach aimed to characterize such near-isogenic lines was carried out for studying gene expression dynamics, microscopy cell traits and qualitative and quantitative cell wall chemical compounds variation. Transcriptomic analysis showed that the enhanced biomass production observed in IL2-6 line is due to a more effective coordination of chloroplast and mitochondria energy fluxes (photosynthesis, cell division, cell wall and hormone metabolism activation). In parallel, microscopy analysis revealed a higher number of cells and chloroplasts in leaf epidermis in the high biomass line whilst chemical measurements on the two lines pointed out striking differences in the cell wall composition and organization. Taken together, our findings shed light on the mechanisms underlying the tomato biomass production and open new routes for improving the tomato lignocellulosic processability.
