Solanum

Solanum is a large and diverse genus of flowering plants, which include three food crops of high economic importance, the potato, the tomato and the eggplant. It also contains the nightshades and horse nettles, as well as numerous plants cultivated for their ornamental flowers and fruit.

lycopersicum) appear in the garden approximately 45 to more than 100 days after you transplant the seedlings outside. The appearance of the tomato’s yellow flowers indicate that the plant has begun the process of producing fruit.

Similarly, it is asked,Which is a cold regulated protein in tobacco plants?

Guo et al. (2019) isolated a new cold-regulated protein SikCOR413PM1 that is a plasma membrane-localized protein, from Saussurea involucrata and observed that overexpression of SikCOR413PM1 enhanced the tolerance to cold and drought stress of transgenic tobacco plants.

Also to know,How is lecor413pm2 related to tomato plants?

This study demonstrates that the overexpression of LeCOR413PM2 could increase cold tolerance of transgenic tomato plants, while the suppressed expression of LeCOR413PM2 by RNA interference could increase the sensitivity of plants to cold. 1. Introduction

Similarly,Are there any genes that regulate cold tolerance?

For instance, by the use of near-isogenic lines (NILs), COLD1 was found to promote chilling tolerance in rice seedlings 7. In tomato, particular genes have been found to regulate the cold tolerance of seedlings 8, 9, 10. However, major gaps remain in our knowledge of cold tolerance of tomato.

How are tomato plants affected by cold stress?

Its growth and development can be easily affected by cold stress. In this study, cold-regulated gene LeCOR413PM2 was cloned from tomato leaves and then used to generate two types of transgenic tomato plants: LeCOR413PM2 -overexpressing transgenic plants and RNA-interference-expressing transgenic plants.
