Today's increasingly unequal and resource intensive development model degrades and
surpasses Earth's finite capacity to sustain human well-being. Society must restore this …

Tomato is a widely cultivated crop, which can grow in many environments. However,
temperature above 30° C impairs its reproduction, subsequently impacting fruit yield. We …

Phenotypic plasticity, prevalent in all domains of life, enables organisms to cope with
unpredictable or novel changes in their growing environment. Plants represent an …

European traditional tomato varieties have been selected by farmers given their consistent
performance and adaptation to local growing conditions. Here we developed a multipurpose …

Histones are important component of eukaryotic cells chromatin and consist of arginine and
lysine residues. Histones play an important role in the protection of DNA. Their contents …
