Pollinator behaviour and the evolutionary genetics of petal surface texture in the Solanaceae
Conical cells in the petal epidermis are a common trait across the angiosperms, and influence pollinator behaviour and pollination success. This work explores two key aspects of conical cell evolution: firstly, why conical cells are so prevalent across many diverse species, and secondly, why some …

Dissection of Innate Immunity in Tomato and Tolerance to Bacterial Wilt in Solanaceae species
Unlike mammals, plants do not have specific immune cells. However, plants can still recognize pathogens and defend themselves. They do that by recognizing microbial-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) and secreted pathogen proteins, called effectors. MAMP-triggered immunity (MTI) relies on …

Identification of new functional resistance genes against <i>P. infestans </i>in <i>Solanaceae</i> species
… co-infiltrations with Rpi-Ph3 in the model Solanaceae plant Nicotiana benthamiana and pathogen assays. The effector screen required the prior establishment of a robust transient expression system in tomato.

Exploring the role of the GR/RTE1 family in ethylene signaling
… an expansion of the GR/RTE1 family within the Solanaceae family of the eudicot lineage. Typically eudicot species contain a single gene closely related to AtRTE1 and SlGRL1. In contrast, members of the Solanaceae family contain a second more divergent gene, defined by SlGR that appears to be …

Development of intermonoploid somatic hybrids of potato and their molecular analysis based on polymorphism for retroelement Tst1
… of Tst1. Parental monoploids, SH and various Solanaceae were evaluated by RD. Fluorescently-labeled retrotransposon-based primers were used in the ALFexpress automated fragment analyzer system. Eleven probes from RD were created for Southern blot analysis and used to verify taxonomic …

Induced defenses and their effect on interactions among herbivores on Solanaceous plants
… defesa local e sistêmica de plantas da família Solanaceae. O principal objetivo foi elucidar os mecanismos e relevâncias ecológicas sobre interações entre herbívoros acima e abaixo do solo mediadas pela defesa da planta hospedeira. Os resultados sugerem que a ausência de uma enzima específica do …

Transformation of a Transposon Construct into Tomato for Functional Genomics Studies
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a member of the Solanaceae family. In this research project tomato, more specifically the M82 cultivar was chosen as a model plant for Agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer by cotyledon inoculation. Our objective was to transform tomato with a T-DNA construct bearing …

Elucidation of gene clusters underlying withanolide biosynthesis in ashwagandha
… Withania somnifera (ashwagandha) amongst other Solanaceae family plants, known for their anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and adaptogenic properties. However, the biosynthetic pathway to withanolides is largely unknown, preventing scale-up and hindering pharmaceutical applications. In this …

Investigation of selected Nigerian medicinal plants as a source of new antimalarial agents. Isolation of phytochemicals from some Nigerian medicinal plants using chromatographic techniques and their evaluation for antiplasmodial activity.
… (Leguminosae-mimosoideae) and Physalis angulata (Solanaceae) were selected for further study. The phytochemical investigation of the active chloroform extracts of P. africana and P. angulata yielded several compounds with three known alkaloids, namely, prosopinine (I), prosopine (II) and acetamide …
