TLDR
The experiments have shown an interaction between root-zone temperature and light levels for greenhouse tomatoes, and caused large increases in shoot dry weight and fruit development when light was not limiting plant growth, but had deleterious effects on flowering and fruit set under shaded conditions.About:

Roots withstanding their environment : Exploiting root system architecture responses to abiotic stress to improve crop tolerance
TL;DR: It is suggested that functional evidence on the role of root plasticity will support breeders in their efforts to include root properties in their current selection pipeline for abiotic stress tolerance, aimed to improve the robustness of crops.

Tomato quality evaluation with image processing: A review
Abraham Gastélum-Barrios,Rafael A. Borquez-Lopez,Enrique Rico-García,Manuel Toledano-Ayala,Genaro M. Soto-Zarazúa +4 more
TL;DR: The main attributes, such as color, ripening rate, firmness, shape, size and composition, that determine tomato fruit quality for final consumers are reviewed and the methods currently used to evaluate these attributes are overviewed.

Germination and vegetative development
TL;DR: The tomato originated on the dry west coast of tropical South America where, during the growing season, temperatures are moderate and the only moisture is from thick mists and it is neither tolerant of frost, nor of waterlogged conditions.

Analysis of the technical, environmental and economic potential of phase change materials (PCM) for root zone heating in Mediterranean greenhouses.
TL;DR: In this article, a study of different design solutions for a root zone heating system, based on thermal energy storage with PCM, is presented, where the best melting temperature for the application under study is 15°C.

Root-zone temperature effects on photosynthesis, 14C-photoassimilate partitioning and growth of temperate lettuce (Lactuca sativa cv. ‘Panama’) in the tropics
Jie He,L. P. Tan,Sing Kong Lee +2 more
TL;DR: The effect of root growth temperature on maximal photosynthetic CO2 assimilation (Pmax), carbohydrate content, 14C-photoassimilate partitioning, growth, and root morphology of lettuce was studied and supported the idea that newly fixed photoassimilates contributed more to root thickening than to root elongation in A-RZT and C→A-RT plants.

Leaf Extension in Zea mays II. LEAF EXTENSION IN RESPONSE TO INDEPENDENT VARIATION OF THE TEMPERATURE OF THE APICAL MERISTEM, OF THE AIR AROUND THE LEAVES, AND OF THE ROOT-ZONE
TL;DR: In this article, the root, apical meristem and region of cell expansion at the base of the leaf was measured and the rates of leaf extension were found to be controlled at root-zone temperatures of 5 to 35 °C by heating or cooling of the MERISTEMatic region.
Leaf Extension in Zea mays
TL;DR: The temperatures of the roots, the apical meristem, and the shoots of Zea mays plants were varied independently of each other and the rates of leaf extension were measured and it was concluded that it was controlled at root-zone temperatures of 5 to 35 °C by heating or cooling of the merismatic region.
