Journal ArticleDOI
The tomato Blind gene encodes a MYB transcription factor that controls the formation of lateral meristems.
TL;DR: It is shown that blind and torosa are allelic, a new class of transcription factors are added to the group of genes controlling lateral meristem initiation and a previously uncharacterized function of R2R3 Myb genes is revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new mutant genetic resource for tomato crop improvement by TILLING technology.
Silvia Minoia,Angelo Petrozza,Olimpia D’Onofrio,Florence Piron,Giuseppina Mosca,Giovanni Sozio,Francesco Cellini,Abdelhafid Bendahmane,Filomena Carriero +8 more
TL;DR: The mutation density estimated in the collection and its comparison with other TILLING populations demonstrate that the Red Setter genetic resource is suitable for use in high-throughput mutation discovery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Engineered drought tolerance in tomato plants is reflected in chlorophyll fluorescence emission
Kumud B. Mishra,Rina Iannacone,Angelo Petrozza,Anamika Mishra,Anamika Mishra,Nadia Armentano,Giovanna La Vecchia,Martin Trtílek,Francesco Cellini,Ladislav Nedbal +9 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that chlorophyll fluorescence emission reports well on the level of water stress and can be used to identify elevated drought tolerance in high-throughput screens for selection of resistant genotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physiological responses to Megafol® treatments in tomato plants under drought stress: A phenomic and molecular approach
Angelo Petrozza,Antonietta Santaniello,Stephan Summerer,Gianluca Di Tommaso,Donata Di Tommaso,Eleonora Paparelli,Alberto Piaggesi,Pierdomenico Perata,Francesco Cellini +8 more
TL;DR: The results showed that drought-stressed plants treated with Megafol® were healthier in terms of the biomass produced and chlorophyll fluorescence, thus highlighting the higher tolerance to stress of the treated plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Virtually complete conversion of lycopene into β-carotene in fruits of tomato plants transformed with the tomato lycopene β-cyclase (tlcy-b) cDNA
Caterina D’Ambrosio,Giovanni Giorio,Ivana Marino,Alessandro Merendino,Angelo Petrozza,Leonarda Salfi,Adriana Lucia Stigliani,Francesco Cellini +7 more
TL;DR: Results demonstrate the feasibility of engineering tomato to divert carotenoid metabolic flux toward a desired useful end-product.
