Tomato Phytochemicals and Prostate Cancer Risk
… and radiolabel these carotenoids in tomato cell suspension cultures. DU 145 prostate tumor cells absorbed 14C-15- cis phytoene and an oxidized phytoene product and partially metabolized these compounds in vitro. To elucidate the biological roles of phytoene and phytofluene, it was …

Automated Pruning of Greenhouse Indeterminate Tomato Plants
<p>Pruning of indeterminate tomato plants is vital for a profitable yield and it still remains a manual process. There has been research in automated pruning of grapevines, trees, and other plants, but tomato plants have yet to be explored. Wage increases are contributing to the depleting profits …

The greenhouse tomato industry in Delta, British Columbia
This focus of this dissertation is the greenhouse tomato industry in Delta, British Columbia. Using a conceptual framework assembled from Regulation theory (including the concept of food regimes) and the political economy of agriculture, I explore the origins and development of the industry in …

Characterization of theWound-Induced Signaling Pathway In Tomato
… to the activation of defense response genes. In tomato, feeding by herbivorous insects initiates the systemin-mediated wound signaling pathway. Systemin is an 18 amino acid peptide that binds to the systemin receptor and initiates an intracellular signaling pathway that results in the …

Value-Added Opportunities for Tomato and Peach Seeds
… food waste reduction. In the United States, the tomato industry was worth $1 billion in 2020, and tomatoes are currently ranked second as the most consumed vegetable after potatoes. Tomato processors have striven to valorize pomace by-products, which contain seeds with valuable compounds such as …

Tissue targeting signals of Tomato leaf curl virus
… intracellular distribution of the monopartite Tomato leaf curl virus (TLCV) was investigated by in situ hybridization. contrary to the previous understanding of geminiviral localization, single stranded (SS) DNA of TCLV accumulated in the cytoplasm. TCLV ssDNA was also found in the nucleus, as …

The use of isothermal membrane distillation in tomato processing
This thesis is an investigation of tomato paste preparation by the use of isothermal membrane distillation (IMD). Traditional vacuum evaporation processes used for tomato paste production operate at high temperatures for long periods and can cause thermal damage to heat sensitive components and …
