Climate change and a rising world population make generation of crops with enhanced
abiotic stress tolerance and higher nutritive value a priority objective in agriculture. In this …

Numerous efforts have been made to genetically improve tomato (Solanum lycopersicum)
cultivars using various conventional breeding methods, despite severe restrictions to …

Tomato is one of the most often cultivated vegetable species worldwide. Due to the anti-
oxidative and anti-cancer properties of lycopene, tomato consumption as well as production …

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is the second most important vegetable crop in the world
after potato (Solanum tuberosum L.), and its productivity is influenced by different abiotic …

Climate change is increasing the frequency of high temperature shocks and water
shortages, pointing to the need to develop novel tolerant varieties and to understand the …

Salinity and drought are among the most challenging environmental constraints to crop
productivity worldwide. The cultivated tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum Mill., is moderately …

Improving yield, nutritional value and tolerance to abiotic stress are major targets of current
breeding and biotechnological approaches that aim at increasing crop production and …

Crop breeding for abiotic stress tolerance entails introgression of stress tolerant genes into
the cultivated types. With the augmentation in salt tolerance, a comparatively high …

Tomato is considered one of the most economically important vegetable crops in the world,
