Lycopersicon Esculentum Mill

The biofertilizers are commonly called as microbial inoculants which are capable of mobilizing important nutritional elements in the soil from non-usable to usable form by the crop plants through their biological processes. The present investigation was carried out to study the application of soil organic amendments Azospirillum, Rhizobium, Phosphobacteria and Pseudomonas fluorescens significantly increased morphological, photosynthetic and biochemical parameters on tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) at all growth stages. It can be concluded that biofertilizer manure can be used for quick stabilization of soil fertility as well as biological activities, which is in turn help in nutrient availability during transition periods. Finally, it was observed that the plants treated with experimental biofertilizer Rhizobium showed excellent results in the morphological and biochemical parameters as compared to the other biofertilizers and also control.

Intensive surveys of the physiological races of Cladosporium fulvum Cke. have been carried out during the past decade in southwestern Ontario, as a result of which seven such races have been identified. These are separated by differential reactions of the following hosts: Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. varieties Potentate, Stirling Castle, Vetomold, V-121, and V-473; L. pimpinellifolium (Jusl.) Mill., Vineland, No. 160 and No. 11-22-15 strains; L. hirsutum Humb. and Bonpl. and L. hirsutum var. glabratum Muller. Evidence is presented that only two of these races existed when the surveys began and that the other five have arisen, probably through mutation, during the period under study. There is further a strong suggestion that the stimulus responsible for these mutations is somehow related to the colonization of an incompatible host by a race which remains stable pathogenically while in association with a susceptible host. Comparable mutants have not been encountered under experimentally controlled conditions. A perfect stage has not been found or induced to form in C. fulvum. A limited number of types of cultural mutants are produced consistently and these have been studied with respect to variability and the factors initiating them. Such mutants frequently do not form spores and in most instances have a reduced sporing potential; they are unchanged in pathogenicity or are slightly less aggressive than the parent to all the resistant hosts. In mixed cultures of races 1 and 5 and 1 and 7, the components survived several transfer generations both in culture and on a susceptible host.

Three tomato varieties (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) viz. BARI tomato-11, BARI tomato-2 and BARI tomato-3 released from Bangladesh Agriculture Research Institute (BARI) were characterized by karyotype analysis and RAPD markers. BARI tomato-11 and BARI tomato-2 were found to possess 2n = 24 metacentric chromosomes. On the other hand, 2n = 25 metacentric chromosomes were observed in BARI tomato-3 revealing a trisomic variety. The karyotype of the three varieties was very symmetric and each of the varieties showed specific and unique RAPD fingerprinting. Therefore, based on karyotype and RAPD analysis the three tomato varieties could be characterized. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjb.v41i2.13439 Bangladesh J. Bot. 41(2): 149-154, 2012 (December)

In Transit

A two year study was conducted in the high tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.), production area of the country (Central and Lusaka Provinces). Tomatoes for the market are packed in wooden boxes, open metal basins and grass baskets. Approx. 5-10% and 20-30% of the fruits packed in wooden boxes, basins and baskets respectively got damaged in transit from site of production to the market. Damage of fruits in wooden boxes was mainly due to the transportation in vehicles of overipe fruits on bumpy roads. Regarding the other containers damage was caused by stacking the containers, on top of each other as well as having different types of produce on top. Most of the damaged fruits could not be sold as the tomato processing industry is not yet well developed.

Marketable Fruit

Plants of nine tomato cultivar (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) of contrasting breeding origins where grown under two growing systems using the nutritive film technique (NFT) and a peat substrate. Planting density was 3 plants m−2. Yield of marketable fruit, culls and four fruit quality parameters (texture, colour, titratable acidity and total soluble solids) were measured at harvest and over 28 d post-harvest. Two varieties were used: Trust, one of the most popular cultivars in Canada, and Cencara a newly released cultivar with long-keeping quality. Over a 21-wk harvest period there was no significant difference for yield or for post-harvest characteristics between the two growth substrates. Trust produced highest yields, compared to the other cultivars, followed by Bounty with a yield 1.6 kg m−2 lower. Bounty and Panther yielded significantly greater masses of marketable fruit than the other cultivars. The new cultivar Cencara showed significantly lower total and marketable yields than the other cultivars, because of the small size of its fruit. At harvest and in storage, Cencara showed better keeping qualities than Trust, while the latter had better eating qualities. Key words: Peat substrate, nutritive film technique, tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.

Ripe Stage

Fruit of 10 tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) cultigens, including five typical fresh market F1's, two rin/ + F1's, two very firm (ultrafirm) inbreds, and an antisense PG F1, were harvested at mature green, breaker, and table ripe stages of development, passed over a grader and taken to a lab (21°C) for analyses of soluble solids, titratable acidity and firmness at the table ripe stage. Shelf life was also measured. Cultigens varied in response to both solids and acids at the three harvest stages, thus there was no clear effect of harvest stage on these variables. The rin /+ F1's and ultrafirm inbreds were significantly firmer than the other cultigens at the table ripe and breaker stages. Shelf life tended to decrease with maturity at harvest. One rin /+ F1 had the greatest shelf life at all harvest stages. Ultrafirm and antisense PG cultigens had greater shelf life than the other six cultigens at the table ripe stage.
