Project description:RNA-seq of seedlings of four tomato species Solanum habrochaites, Solanum lycopersicum, Solanum pimpinelliolium, and Solanum pennellii. An additional panel of samples include many tissues from Solanum lycopersicum and Solanum pennellii in two light conditions
Project description:Members of the tomato clade exhibit wide diversity in fruit coloration, growth habit, leaf morphology and mating preferences. However, the mechanisms governing inter-species diversity in fruit coloration are largely unknown. Therefore, a proteomic approach combined with carotenoid profiling and carotenogenic gene expression was used to decipher the diversity in carotenogenesis in green-fruited Solanum habrochaites, orange-fruited S. galapagense, and red-fruited S. pimpinellifolium with S. lycopersicum, cv. Ailsa Craig (tomato).
Project description:High throughput sequencing was used to investigate the production of small RNAs from cultivated tomato cultivar M82 and its wild relative Solanum pennellii. In order to understand the pattern of inheritance of the samll RNAs, interspecific hybrids (F1 and F2) along with series of introgressed lines comprising precise short genomic regions from S. pennellii in M82 background were used. Examination of small RNA production in several tomato lines.
Project description:To further clarify the differences in the potential regulatory mechanisms of cold tolerance between wild and cultivated tomatoes, we subjected cold-sensitive cultivated tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) Ailsa Craig (AC) and cold-tolerant wild tomato (S. habrochaites) LA1777 to cold stress for 6 h, and performed ATAC-Seq and RNA-Seq, respectively.

Project description:Genetic analysis of interspecific populations derived from crosses between the wild tomato species Solanum habrochaites f glabratum, which synthesizes and accumulates insecticidal methylketones (MKs) such as 2-undecanone and 2-tridecanone in glandular trichomes, and Solanum lycopersicum (cultivated tomato), which does not, demonstrated that MK metabolism in the wild species can be attributed to several loci. Comparative trascriptome analysis of the glandular trichomes of F2 segregants bulked into low- and high-MK plants identified several genes whose transcripts were either more or less abundant in the high-MK plants.
Project description:The intent of the experiment was to infer, from transcriptome analysis, the occurrence of competent LTR retrotransposons in shoot apical meristems of Solanum lycopersicum. For this, we performed Illumina pair-end RNA-seq in M82 tomato samples of meristems, leaves and flowers. We also harvested meristems in plants subjected to long-term heat. In addition, we performed RNA-seq in meristems, leaves and flowers samples from Solanum pennellii, to aid phylogenetic interpretations.
