Postharvest tomato shelf life is genetically distinct from fruit firmness: evidence from two F2 populations

Carlo Rosati, Fabien Tirado, Giuseppe Aprea, Frédérique Bitton C, Marie Brault, Renaud Duboscq, Paola Ferrante, Karine Pellegrino, Catia Stamigna, Giovanni Giuliano, Mathilde Causse

The paper identifies QTLs associated with postharvest tomato shelf life using two F2 populations, showing that firmness at harvest is only weakly predictive of shelf life.

Development and application of SNP markers to facilitate DUS testing in tomato

Mathilde Causse, Frédérique Bitton C, Patricia Faivre Rampant, Renaud Duboscq, Aurélie Berard, C. Jouy, Chiara Delogu, Hedwich Teunissen, Cecile Collonier, Isabelle Le Clainche, Damien Daniel Hinsinger

The paper develops SNP markers for DUS testing in tomato, identifies marker-trait associations, and evaluates their discriminatory power for variety distinction.

Mammalian growth-regulating factors enhance regeneration of recalcitrant transgenic tomato accessions

Cécile Garchery, Juliette Bénéjam, Alexia Laura Grau, Justine Gricourt, Esther Pelpoir, Mathilde Causse

The paper shows that adding mammalian growth factors to transformation medium improves regeneration rates in recalcitrant tomato accessions.

New QTLs involved in the control of stigma position in tomato

Alessandro Riccini, Fabrizio Olivieri, Barbara Farinon, Frédérique Bitton C, Isidore Diouf, Yolande Carretero, Salvador Soler, María R. Figàs, Jaime Prohens, Antonio Jose Monforte, Antonio Granell, Mathilde Causse, Andrea Mazzucato

The paper identifies new QTLs associated with stigma position in tomato and validates previously reported QTLs, supporting the role of multiple genes in controlling herkogamy.

Characterization of a major QTL for sodium accumulation in tomato shoot

Alexandre Héreil, M. Guillaume, Renaud Duboscq, Yolande Carretero, Esther Pelpoir, Frédérique Bitton, C. Giraud, Rumyana Karlova, Christa S. Testerink, Rebecca G. Stevens, Mathilde Causse

The paper identifies a major QTL for sodium accumulation in tomato shoots under salt stress and links it to the expression of SlHKT1.2, a sodium transporter gene.
