“…Scarano and colleagues analyzed the phytochemical composition of an Italian landrace tomato germplasm collection under an elevated temperature and established a very narrow pH range (4.3 to 4.6) that corresponds to the present study [ 64 ]. Nonetheless, the TSS content of the Cypriot landraces has an overall lower value (4.11 °Brix on average and a maximum of 5 °Brix) compared to other local germplasms where values larger than 5 °Brix are reported [ 42 , 45 , 64 ]. The sugar content is heavily influenced by both temperature and light spectra; hence the different environmental conditions and cultivation practices across diverse studies can hamper direct comparisons among landraces grown at distant locations and timelines.…”

“…This attitude is revitalizing the interest in heirloom and rustic tomato landraces and is leading to the rediscovery of local agricultural traditions [ 19 ]. Hence, several studies are increasingly focusing on the description of agro-morphological traits, diversity analysis and phytochemical characterization of local and antique tomato germplasm [ 26 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 ]. In the current study, ten accessions of Cypriot tomato landraces were characterized using 24 agro-morphological descriptors, microsatellite genetic markers (across ten loci) as well as several phytochemical parameters in order to characterize, for the first time in literature, the local tomato germplasm and further evaluate its breeding potential.…”

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is considered one of the most valuable and versatile vegetable crops globally and also serves as a significant model species for fruit developmental biology. Despite its significance, a severe genetic bottleneck and intense selection of genotypes with specific qualitative traits have resulted in the prevalence of a restricted number of (geno)types, also causing a lack of diversity across widespread cultivated types. As a result, the re-emergence of landraces as well as traditional and heirloom varieties is largely acknowledged as a countermeasure to restore phenotypic, phytochemical and genetic diversity while enriching the aroma/taste tomato palette. On those grounds, the Cypriot tomato germplasm was assessed and characterized. Ten landrace accessions were evaluated under greenhouse conditions and data were collected for 24 IPGRI discrete phenotypic traits. Grouping of accessions largely reflected the fruit shape and size; four different fruit types were recorded across accessions (flattened, heart-shaped, rounded and highly rounded). Moreover, a single run panel consisting of ten SSRs was developed and applied in order to genetically characterize 190 Cypriot genotypes and foreign heirloom varieties. Based on genetic indexes it was established that tomato landraces have a rather low level of heterogeneity and genetic variation. Finally, mineral and phytochemical analyses were conducted in order to estimate biochemical attributes (total phenolics, ascorbic acid, lycopene, β-carotene, total soluble content, titratable acidity) across genotypes; thus, ascertaining that the Cypriot panel has a high nutritional value. Due to the thermo-drought adaptation and tolerance of these genotypes, the current study serves as a roadmap for future breeding efforts in order to incorporate desirable traits or develop novel tomato lines combining resilience and alimentary value.

“…An increase in LC and BCC in tomato fruit is one of the aims of crop breeding programs ( Hazra et al, 2018 , Londoño-Giraldo et al, 2020 , Londoño-Giraldo et al, 2021 ). Therefore, the characterization of germplasm regarding the levels of these carotenoids can provide relevant information to achieve this aim.…”

“…cerasiforme (IAC391, IAC401, IAC2076, IAC1624, IAC412, IAC426 (and its round fruit form IAC426R), LA1480, LA2692, and LA1705) and the fruits of one commercial cherry tomato obtained from a market were used. A description of the wild germplasm is available in [14]. Seedlings were grown in a greenhouse using a hydroponic system in a random design with four replicates per accession.…”

“…For instance, IAC401 was selected as the most promising based on physicochemical parameters under a multicriteria decision analysis [37]. LA1480 was chosen as one of the most promising due to its flavor VOCs and sensorial descriptors [14]. In this case, genotype is the major determinant of variability in the carotenoid content within the analyzed cherry tomatoes, since all tomatoes were cultivated under the same conditions (light radiation intensity and quality, air-and fruit canopy temperature, CO 2 concentration, and growing system).…”

Carotenoids are naturally occurring fat-soluble pigments found in many organisms. Because of their extensively conjugated carbon–carbon double bond system, carotenoids are potent antioxidants. Although the most abundant carotenoid and best singlet oxygen quencher found in red tomatoes is lycopene, carotenoid profiles may vary between genotypes. The objective of this work was to perform carotenoid profile indentification using HPLC-DAD-APCI-MS in ten wild cherry tomato accessions and one cultivated tomato. A mixture of hexane/acetone/ethanol (50:25:25) and 0.1% BHT was used for carotenoid extraction. For separation, a C30 column at 30 °C with a gradient consisting of methanol, methyl-tert-butyl ether, and water was used for their analysis. Ten major carotenoids were quantified within cherry tomato samples. All accessions present different profiles and quantities of carotenoids. Wild red tomatoes had more lycopene content that commercial tomato, whereas yellow tomatoes present no lycopene. From a functional viewpoint, higher concentrations of carotenoids that could play an antioxidant activity were measured from accessions IAC401, IAC426, LA1480, IAC391, and LA2692. This trait means that these germplasms may be targets for commercial activities. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that HPLC-DAD-APCI-MS has been used to analyze these accessions of wild cherry tomatoes that are both functionally promising and suitable for projects with social implementation at a local scale.
