The purpose of exodermal suberin has long been unknown, but a new study published in Nature Plants by researchers at the University of California, Davis demonstrates that it fulfils the same function as endodermal suberin and that tomato plants are less able to cope with water stress without

For the first time, scientists at the University of Johannesburg (UJ) have examined the molecular genetics of tomato plants' defence mechanisms against a destructive "young" Southern African virus.
The well-known tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) is known to be resistant to individuals
Washington D.C. [USA] Apr 28 (ANI): The researchers have found an evolutionary function in wild tomato plants that could be used by modern plant breeders to create pest-resistant tomatoes.
