“…Although biotic and abiotic factors are known to affect the global quality of tomato fruits (Gratao et al, 2008;Horchani et al, 2010), little is known about their effects on the nutrient composition of fruits (Carvalho Bertoli et al, 2012;Moral et al, 1994). In this case, our result showed that Cd changed fruit nutrient composition, depending on elements and developing fruit stage.…”

a b s t r a c t Edited by RA Street Keywords: Cadmium Mineral elements Solanum lycopersicum Seed FruitIn young tomato plants, modifications in mineral composition by short-term cadmium (Cd) treatments have been extensively examined. However, long-term Cd treatments have been fewly investigated, and little information about Cd-stress in fruiting plants is available. In the present work, we examined the changes in mineral nutrients of roots, stems, leaves, flowers, seeds and fruit pericarp of tomato plants submitted to a long-term Cd stress. After a 90-day culture period in hydroponic contaminated environment (0, 20 and 100 μM CdCl 2 ), fruit production was affected by increasing external Cd levels, with the absence of fruit set at 100 μM Cd. Meanwhile, Cd altered the plant mineral contents with an element-and organ-dependent response. At 20 μM, Cd triggered a significant increase in Ca content in roots, mature leaves, flowers and developing fruits. However, at 100 μM Cd, Ca content was reduced in shoots, and enhanced in roots. Cd stress reduced Zn and Cu contents in shoots and increased them in roots. High Cd level led to a significant decrease in K and Mg content in all plant organs. Furthermore, Fe concentration was reduced in roots, stems and leaves but increased in flowers, seeds and red ripe fruits. Our results suggest that tomato plants acclimatize during long-term exposure to 20 μM Cd, while 100 μM Cd results in drastic nutritional perturbations leading to fruit set abortion.

“…significantly greater total soluble solid cucurbits were reported in the aeration treatments. Horchani et al ., suggested that prolonged root hypoxia of tomato could significantly limit ascorbate accumulation during fruit ripening, and suggested that the primary mechanism that limits the ascorbate accumulation in fruits is based on a reduced induction of most of the genes in their biosynthesis pathways24. To date, there is scarce information about the aeration volume combined with burial depths of drip irrigation tubes on tomato quality in greenhouse.…”

“…In most crop plants, oxygen deprivation may cause severe injury, reduction of chlorophyll content, stomatal conductance, photosynthesis and transpiration rate of leaves2223. Tomato plants are one of the most vulnerable mesophytes to hypoxia in the root environment242526. Previous studies have shown that aerated irrigation enhances yield and quality of muskmelon in the greenhouse26; tomato roots are similar to muskmelon.…”

This study investigated the effects of 4 aeration levels (varied by injection of air to the soil through subsurface irrigation lines) at two subsurface irrigation line depths (15 and 40 cm) on plant growth, yield and nutritional quality of greenhouse tomato. In all experiments, fruit number, width and length, yield, vitamin C, lycopene and sugar/acid ratio of tomato markedly increased in response to the aeration treatments. Vitamin C, lycopene, and sugar/acid ratio increased by 41%, 2%, and 43%, respectively, in the 1.5 times standard aeration volume compared with the no-aeration treatment. An interaction between aeration level and depth of irrigation line was also observed with yield, fruit number, fruit length, vitamin C and sugar/acid ratio of greenhouse tomato increasing at each aeration level when irrigation lines were placed at 40 cm depth. However, when the irrigation lines were 15 cm deep, the trend of total fruit yields, fruit width, fruit length and sugar/acid ratio first increased and then decreased with increasing aeration level. Total soluble solids and titrable acid decreased with increasing aeration level both at 15 and 40 cm irrigation line placement. When all of the quality factors, yields and economic benefit are considered together, the combination of 40 cm line depth and “standard” aeration level was the optimum combination.

“…Basically, there is a lack of data on the response of processing tomato plants grown in fine clay soils with excess water like that found in converted paddy fields. Some researchers have reported waterlogging or low oxygen levels in the soil when growing table tomatoes or wild varieties (Ahsan et al, 2007;Dresboll and Thorup-Kristensen, 2012;Dresboll et al, 2013;Horchani et al, 2010;Li et al, 2012;Lin et al, 2016;Morard et al, 2004), but not with tomatoes for processing or cooking. Therefore, we decided to grow processing tomatoes to understand the basic traits specific to water stress using pot experiments with 'Natsunoshun', a processing tomato cultivar that can grow in converted paddy fields in central Hokkaido.…”

“…On the other hand, the WET treatment may contribute to the accumulation of fruit lycopene, but not β-carotene, unlike the DRY treatment. In a previous study using fresh market tomatoes, waterlogging during the fruit development stage reduced carotenoids (Horchani et al, 2010). Compared to the WET treatment, the DRY treatment could be used to improve taste and nutrient contents if the problems of maturation and blossom-end rot that accompany lack of moisture can be avoided.…”

The Processing Tomato Cultivar ‘Natsunoshun’ is Susceptible to an Excess or Lack of Soil Moisture after the Flowering Stage

et al. 2019

An excess or lack of soil moisture are significant abiotic stresses that reduce the average yield for vegetable crops worldwide. The responses of 'Natsunoshun', a processing tomato cultivar, to water stress at three growth stages, first flower differentiation, first flowering, and fruit development, were investigated over a two-year period. The year effect on yield was not significant; however, the growth stage and the type of water stress at a particular growth stage affected yield significantly. Either an excess or lack of soil moisture after the first flowering stage were significant in reducing yield. The decrease was related to the average weight of the fruit rather than the number per plant. Under dry conditions, fruit number was the same as control plants, but there was a decrease in the reddish mature fruit ratio. On the other hand, under wet conditions plant biomass decreased, especially in the roots, even if there was a transition from wet to dry conditions. We conclude that excessive soil moisture during the first flowering stage produces slower CGR and decreased biomass in the roots, which we believe is the reason for the yield decline.
