The solanum fruit fly, (Hendel), is an important pest species of commercial plants in the family Solanaceae. In this study, the population genetic structure of was investigated using mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I sequences. A mitochondrial DNA haplotype network revealed no major genetic break, but haplotypes from recently invaded areas in Japan, Tanzania, and Kenya were genetically divergent. The overall haplotype network is approximately star-shaped, characteristic of recent demographic expansion of populations. This is also supported by large negative values of neutrality tests. Despite the overall pattern of recent population history, genetic structure analysis revealed considerable genetic structuring with 33% of pairwise comparisons being significantly different. Populations that were genetically different from the others usually possess low genetic diversity, suggesting that genetic drift is potentially a factor driving genetic differentiation. Local extinction and recolonization processes related to the availability of host plants are most likely responsible for a founder effect and subsequent genetic drift in a population.

This study explored the distribution of macronutrients (Ca, Mg, Na, K) and lithogenic (Ba, Cr, Ni, Mn, Fe) and mining-related (As, Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn) toxic metalloids and metals (TMMs) in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.), and its effects on plant development, productivity, genotoxicity, and human health, using a soil affected by mine tailings (AS) and an unaffected control soil (CS). The chemistry of soils reflected their mineralogy, and Fe-Ti oxides, sulfides and sulfosalts were found to be the most significant reservoirs of TMMs.

Nano-biochar considers a versatile and valuable sorbent to enhance plant productivity by improving soil environment and emerged as a novel solution for environmental remediation and sustainable agriculture in modern era. In this study, roles of foliar applied nanobiochar colloidal solution (NBS) on salt stressed tomato plants were investigated. For this purpose, NBS was applied (0%, 1% 3% and 5%) on two groups of plants (control 0 mM and salt stress 60 mM).

This research investigates potential mechanisms of novel magnetic field (MF) treatments in inhibiting cell-wall-degrading enzymes, aiming to reduce weight loss and preserve the post-harvest quality of tomatoes ( L.) as a climacteric fruit. The optimization of the processing parameters, including MF intensity (1, 2, 3 mT), frequency (0, 50, 100 Hz), and duration (10, 20, 30 min), was accomplished by applying an orthogonal array design.

Light serves as an energy source for cell division and expansion during fruit development. Cell expansion significantly influences fruit size and is closely linked to endoreduplication, a unique cell cycle variation characterized by DNA replication without cytokinesis. Paradoxically, under conditions of ample photosynthates, light signaling suppresses cell expansion.
