TL;DR: This study samples ecologically dominant fungal guilds for which there were previously no symbiotic genomes available, including ectomycorrhizal Russulales, Thelephorales and Cantharellales, and shows that transitions from saprotrophy to symbiosis involve widespread losses of degrading enzymes acting on lignin and cellulose.
Journal ArticleDOI
Not just colors : carotenoid degradation as a link between pigmentation and aroma in tomato and watermelon fruit
Efraim Lewinsohn,Yaron Sitrit,Einat Bar,Yaniv Azulay,Mwafaq Ibdah,Ayala Meir,Emanuel Yosef,Emanuel Yosef,Dani Zamir,Yaakov Tadmor +9 more
TL;DR: Various tomato and watermelon varieties and transgenic and near-isogenic tomato lines that range in color from yellow through orange to pink and red differ markedly in their carotenoid profiles, accompanied by differences in the compositions of terpenoid volatiles and hence in their taste.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carotenoid Pigmentation Affects the Volatile Composition of Tomato and Watermelon Fruits, As Revealed by Comparative Genetic Analyses
TL;DR: Evidence is provided, based on comparative genetics, that carotenoid pigmentation patterns have profound effects on the norisoprene and monoterpene aroma volatile compositions of tomato and watermelon and that in these fruits geranial (trans-citral) is apparently derived from lycopene in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enrichment of tomato flavor by diversion of the early plastidial terpenoid pathway.

TL;DR: The flavor and aroma of tomatoes are modified by expressing the Ocimum basilicum geraniol synthase gene under the control of the tomato ripening–specific polygalacturonase promoter and a majority of untrained taste panelists preferred the transgenic fruits over controls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regulation of Tomato Fruit Polygalacturonase mRNA Accumulation by Ethylene: A Re-Examination
Yaron Sitrit,Alan B. Bennett +1 more
TL;DR: PG mRNA accumulation is ethylene regulated, and that the low threshold levels of ethylene required to promote PG mRNA accumulation may be exceeded, even in transgenic antisense ACC synthase tomato fruit.
