#lycopersicon esculentum

[the-liminal-place]

(plain text version under the cut)

Lycopersicon Esculentum

Find nourishment in the night

of me.

At the sight of my plight:

Fighting to know,

to get going,

to flow

to flourish and grow, try

as I might, 

to reach up high like the tallest tall men

and soar like swallows, 

when all I really do is make smoothies

from my turpentine blood and groans and

my brittle ashen bone. 

Herbose (not quite), 

I am a little Tomato plant

thrilling nobody by thriving

in a pot, left

in an abandoned Ford Capri. 

Dashboard-Born, 

I cry deep red tears at every new

headlight dawn

passing

and settle (not quite) at eventide

like a handprint

in concrete;

fucking unwanted. 

But although I grow strong, I am dying

everyday. Starving, you see. 

Always. 

In my belly,

In my heart. 

No catharsis. 

Forever raving mad, I ache

like limestone rocks in dried up lakes

after acid rain:

in my head, 

in my eyes,

in all my coquettish faux-surprise. 

I bury my uninteresting secrets and lies

with vigour, southland, 

broken-knuckles on tiny hands, 

my fingernails soiled from digging

down, down, 

in my doubled-up urn—

my word! 

Oh, my life! 

My nocturnal yearn, 

it never ceases. 

So take me now, please, in spite

of all this, despite all

my devilment

and all my shite. Because.

Because 

try as I might to be soft and stayed, 

I am deviant.

I am sharp. 

I am the knife

that cuts clean the meat

off my verdant stem 

and right through to my very own hunger 

for you.

Domates (Solanum lycopersicum), patlıcangiller (Solanaceae) familyasından kökeni Güney Amerika’ya dayanan, kültüre alınmış ve dünya genelinde yaygın olarak tüketilen bir sebzedir. Meyve olarak tüketilen ama aslında botanik açıdan bir meyve olup, mutfakta çoğunlukla sebze olarak kullanılmaktadır. Farklı boyutlarda, renklerde ve şekillerde çeşitleri bulunan domates, zengin vitamin ve mineral içeriğiyle besleyici bir gıdadır. Aynı zamanda antioksidanlar ve likopen gibi biyoaktif bileşikler içermesi nedeniyle sağlık için de önemli bir rol oynamaktadır.

Çeşitli yemeklerde, salatalarda, soslarda ve içeceklerde kullanılmasıyla sofraların vazgeçilmez bir parçası haline gelmiştir. Tarım alanında da önemli bir ürün olan domates, uygun yetiştirme şartları sağlandığında verimli bir şekilde yetiştirilebilmektedir. Dolayısıyla, hem lezzeti hem de sağlık açısından zengin bir besin olan domates, dünya genelinde popülerliğini korumaktadır.

Domates’in Toprak Tercihi

Toprak tercihi genellikle verimli ve iyi drene edilmiş toprakları tercih eder. Toprak pH’ının 6 ila 7 arasında olması, bitkinin besinleri daha iyi almasına yardımcı olur. Ayrıca, toprağın organik madde açısından zengin olması da gelişimi için önemlidir. Ilıman iklimleri tercih eder ve sıcak hava koşullarında daha iyi yetişir. Düşük sıcaklıklardan zarar görebilir, bu nedenle don tehlikesi olan bölgelerde uygun koruma önlemleri alınmalıdır. Aynı zamanda, bol güneş ışığı domateslerin gelişimi ve meyve verimi için kritik öneme sahiptir. İyi bir havalandırma ve nem dengesi, hastalıkların ve zararlıların önlenmesinde önemlidir. Sulama düzenli olmalı ve suyu toprağın köklerine ulaştıracak şekilde yapılmalıdır. Bu koşullar altında sağlıklı büyüyerek verimli meyveler üretebilir.

Domatesin Faydaları

Domates, besleyici içeriği ve sağlığa olan faydalarıyla önemli bir sebzedir. İçeriğinde C vitamini, A vitamini, potasyum, lif ve antioksidanlar bulunur. Bu besin öğeleri sayesinde domatesin birçok sağlık yararı vardır.

Domatesin içerdiği C vitamini, bağışıklık sisteminin güçlenmesine yardımcı olur ve vücuttaki serbest radikallerle savaşarak hücrelerin hasar görmesini engeller. Ayrıca, A vitamini sayesinde göz sağlığını korumada etkilidir. Kalp sağlığını desteklemeye de yardımcı olur. İçeriğindeki potasyum, kan basıncını düzenler ve kalp-damar sağlığını destekler. Lif açısından zengin olması, sindirim sistemini düzenler ve kabızlık gibi sorunların önlenmesine katkı sağlar. Ayrıca, domatesin likopen adı verilen bir antioksidan içermesi, kanser riskini azaltmada etkili olabilir.

Özetle, domatesin içeriğindeki vitaminler, mineraller ve antioksidanlar sayesinde sağlık açısından pek çok faydası bulunur. Bu nedenle, dengeli bir beslenme planında düzenli olarak tüketilmesi, sağlığın korunmasında ve geliştirilmesinde önemli bir rol oynar.

Hastalık ve Zararlılar

Domates bakteriyel benek hastalığı, Xanthomonas vesicatoria adlı bakterinin neden olduğu bir hastalıktır. Bu hastalık, yapraklarında ve meyvelerinde beneklerin oluşmasına neden olur. Bakteriyel benek hastalığı genellikle nemli ve sıcak hava koşullarında, su damlacıklarının bitkiye temas etmesiyle yayılır.

Hastalığın belirtileri arasında yapraklarda oluşan sarımsı yeşil renkte benekler, bu beneklerin etrafında hafif sarı halkalar ve zamanla bu beneklerin birleşerek büyümesi gözlemlenebilir. Hastalık ilerledikçe, meyvelerde de benekler ve çatlaklar oluşabilir.

Bu hastalığın kontrolü için şu önlemler alınabilir:

Domates Hastalıkları ve Kültürel Önlemler

–Fide döneminde belirti gösteren bitkiler yok edilmeli. –Seralarda havalandırmaya özen göstermeli ve aşırı nem birikimi önlenmeli –Enfekteli bitki artıkları yok edilmeli –Bulaşma alanlarında 1 yıılık ekim nöbeti uygulanmalı –Hastalık, tohumla da taşındığından temiz alanlardan tohum alınmalı.

Domates Çift virüslü çizgi hastalığı, bitkiyi etkileyen bir viral hastalıktır. Bu hastalığın nedeni, Potato virus Y (PVY) ve Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) adı verilen iki farklı virüsün etkileşimidir. Bu virüsler, yaprak bitleri ve diğer zararlılar tarafından taşınarak bitkiye bulaşır ve hastalığın yayılmasını sağlar. Domates Çift virüslü çizgi hastalığı, domates bitkisinde çeşitli belirtiler gösterir. Bunlar arasında yapraklarda sararma, kıvırcık yapraklar, yaprak kenarlarında dalgalanma ve hatta çizgili desenler bulunabilir. Ayrıca, meyvelerde çatlaklar ve renk değişiklikleri de görülebilir.Domates ve patates ürünleri bir arada yetiştirilmemelidir

Domates bakteriyel benek hastalığı, Xanthomonas vesicatoria bakterisinin neden olduğu yaygın bir domates hastalığıdır. Bu hastalık, nemli ve sıcak koşullarda daha sık görülür ve özellikle yapraklar, meyveler ve saplar gibi domates bitkisinin farklı kısımlarında lekeler oluşturur. Domates bakteriyel benek hastalığının belirtileri genellikle yapraklarda başlar. Yaprakların üst yüzeyinde su lekeleri gibi başlayan lekeler, zamanla kahverengi ve sert bir yapıya dönüşebilir. Hastalık ilerledikçe, yapraklar üzerinde sarı, kahverengi veya siyah renkte nekrotik lekeler oluşur. Meyvelerde de su lekeleri ve çukurlar görülebilir, meyve kalitesi düşebilir.

Domates mildiyösü hastalığı, Phytophthora infestans adlı mantarın neden olduğu bir hastalıktır ve yaygın olarak görülmektedir. Bu hastalık, özellikle nemli ve serin hava koşullarında hızla yayılabilir ve domates üretimini olumsuz etkileyebilir. Domates mildiyösü hastalığı, yaprakların üst yüzeyinde oluşan sarımsı, yeşilimsi lekelerle başlar. Lekeler zamanla büyür ve alt yüzeyde gri-beyaz sporlar oluşur. Hastalık ilerledikçe yapraklar kahverengiye döner, kurur ve sonunda ölür. Aynı zamanda meyvelerde de lekeler oluşabilir ve meyve kalitesini düşürebilir.

Domates yaprak küfü hastalığı, Phytophthora infestans adlı bir mantarın neden olduğu bir hastalıktır. Bu hastalık, yapraklarda kahverengi lekelerin ve beyaz sporların görülmesiyle belirginleşir. Hastalık, özellikle nemli ve serin hava koşullarında yaygın olarak görülür.

Tomato Nematode Diagnosis in Daloa, Côte d’Ivoire

Abstract

Symptomatological studies were carried out in two tomato growing areas in Daloa to estimate and identify the associated nematode populations. Symptoms were assessed by visual observation. The soil and root nematodes were extracted by Bermann’s method and identified by observing morphological characteristics. The symptomatological study showed the presence of symptoms of plants wilting, yellowing of the leaves as well as galls on the nematodes characteristic roots. The results also highlighted diversity within the nematode population that colonizes tomato in Daloa with four genera of nematodes. The genera Tylenchus, Helicotylenchus, Partylenchus and Meloidogyne were identified. The presence of the genus Meloidogyne in all plots shows that it is responsible for the yellowing symptoms associated with root galls. These nematodes are known for their action on the formation of galls on the roots of the tomato.

Introduction

The tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill), Solanaceae is considered as the first vegetable after potato and the second world food resource after cereals. Its culture is adapted to very varied culture conditions. Tomato production has continued to grow in recent decades around the world; from 48 million tonnes in 1978, it rose to 124 million in 2006 (Blancard et al., 2009). In Côte d'Ivoire, the tomato sector is booming with production increasing over time. For Faostat, production was estimated at 26,235 t in 2005 and rose to 40,306 t in 2018. This crop generates income and employment for vulnerable groups and for youth (Tujague-Gibourg and Moustier, 2009).

However, tomato cultivation is faced with many parasitic constraints. Root-knot nematodes of the genus Meloidogyne are among the most important pests of tomatoes (Bissadou, 2012). Symptoms from nematode attack are characterized by the appearance of galls on the roots and reduced growth of infected plants (Cunha et al., 2018). These pests, although less integrated in research programs, are among the most important causes of crop yield reduction. It is estimated that approximately 11% of global crop losses are caused by nematodes, resulting in a crop loss of several million tonnes each year (Gregory et al., 2017). 

The damage caused by Meloidogyne spp. lead to significant production losses in areas with favorable conditions (Castagnone-Sereno and Djian-Caporalino, 2011). In Côte d'Ivoire studies have been conducted on these worms which reduce tomato production. Nematode damage is difficult to quantify because it affects production by direct and indirect action. 

The fight against these terrestrial parasites should begin with the information about the diversity of the tomato parasitic nematodes. The present study aims to contribute to tomato production in Daloa region through the understanding of nematode species infested with tomatoes in the area under study. This will specifically involve the causes of the damage by these nematodes and the diversity of species on the tomato crop.

Phytoremediation is a cutting-edge and eco-friendly technique that utilizes plants to eliminate pollutants, including copper, which can pose risks to plants, animals, and humans. In the present study, the hyperaccumulator capabilities of the tomato plant (Lycopersicon esculentum) in the removal of copper, zinc, iron, and manganese from the soil was explored.

Materials and Methods: The tomato plants were cultivated for 70 days in pots containing varying concentrations of copper, ranging from 250 to 1250 ppm. At specific time intervals of 15, 30, 45, and 60 days, plants of each concentration were harvested. Then the soil samples were analyzed using atomic absorption spectroscopy to determine the levels of copper, zinc, manganese, and iron.

Results: The results indicated that zinc removal exhibited a higher rate compared to other metals, with a removal rate of up to 95.79%, while copper removal reached 87.7%. Furthermore, analysis after 60 days of treatment revealed that the aerial parts of the plants accumulated more metals than that of the roots. Additionally, the chlorophyll content in the leaves decreased at both low and high copper concentrations, compared to moderate levels.

Conclusion: The tomato plant, L. esculentum indicated promising hyperaccumulator potential in the removal of copper than other metals from the soil. The current study emphasized the effectiveness of phytoremediation as a sustainable approach to abating copper pollution.

Ultra-deep proteomics by Thin-diaPASEF with a 60-cm long column system

Recent advances have allowed for the detection of 10,000 proteins from cultured human cell samples, such as HeLa and HEK293T cells in a single-shot proteome analysis. However, deeper analysis remains challenging. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to perform a deep proteomic single-shot analysis using timsTOF HT. To achieve deep proteomics, we developed Thin-diaPASEF, a parallel accumulation-serial fragmentation (PASEF) technology featuring a thinly divided m/z axis only in regions of high ion density. Furthermore, using a 60-cm long C18 column with a particle size of 1.7 m, an average of 11,698, 11,615 and 11,019 unique proteins were successfully detected from 500 ng of HEK293T, HeLa and K562 cell digests, respectively, with a 100 min active gradient. The same system was used to analyze Lycopersicon esculentum lectin (LEL) enriched plasma and serum. The LEL method identified an average of 8,613 and 4,078 unique proteins, in plasma and serum, respectively. Our ultra-deep proteomic analysis system will be helpful for the in-depth comparison of proteins in medical and biological research because it enables the analysis of highly proteome coverage in a single-shot. http://dlvr.it/T64yg8

Manduca Sexta (Tobacco moth)

Habitat: Tobacco fields, vegetable gardens, and a wide variety of habitats.

Manduca sexta (L.), the tobacco hornworm

The tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta (L.), is a common pest of plants in the family Solanaceae, which includes tobacco, tomato, pepper, eggplant, and various ornamentals and weeds (del Campo and Renwick 1999). Caterpillars in the family Sphingidae are known as hornworms, due to their worm-like body shape and the presence of a small, pointed “horn” at their posterior. The adult stage of Manduca sexta is a heavy-bodied moth that resembles a hummingbird, and Manduca adults are commonly referred to as hawkmoths or hummingbird moths. The larval stage (hornworm) of this species is more often encountered, as it is resides on the host plant during the day and can cause significant defoliation of economically important crops.

https://entnemdept.ufl.edu/creatures/field/tobacco_hornworm.htm

Prepupae and pupae: At the end of the final larval instar, the hornworm enters what is considered the prepupal stage. This stage is characterized by wandering behavior and selection of a pupation site, followed by the formation of the pupal cell below the leaf litter or soil substrate. Once the pupal cell is excavated, the prepupal stage transitions into the pupal stage as the insect’s cuticle hardens and darkens, forming the pupa. The pupa of Manduca sexta is a dark, reddish-brown color with a maxillary loop at the anterior end and a pointed posterior end (Figure 6 ) (Deel 1999). Depending on the time of year and number of generations (two is typical in most areas), overwintering may occur during this stage (Cranshaw 2004). The sex of Manduca sexta can be determined by looking for markings on the fifth instar larvae, the prepupae or the pupal case, or the adult (Willott 2003).

Pupa of Manduca sexta (L.), the tobacco hornworm. Note the maxillary loop (right). Pupae are found belowground or deep in the leaf litter.

Both male and female adult moths feed on nectar from a variety of flowering plants. Adults are active at night, further strengthening the conclusion that larval host plants are located using chemical, rather than visual, signals (Reisenman et al. 2009).

Larval host plants include: Datura wrightii (jimsonweed), Nicotiana attenuata (wild tobacco), Proboscidea parviflora (devil’s claw) (Spathe et al. 2013), Lycopersicon esculentum (tomato) (Reisenman et al. 2009), Capsicum annuum (bell pepper) (Fraser et al. 2003), and Solanum tuberosum(potato) (de Campo et al. 2001).

These insects feed only on solanaceous plants, most commonly on tomato and tobacco. They have been recorded on other vegetables such as eggplant, pepper, and potato, but this is rare. Several Solanum spp. weeds are reported to serve as hosts. Adults imbibe nectar from flowers of a number of plants, and can be seen hovering about flowers at dusk.

From Vine to Table: Must-Know Facts About Tomato Trees

Here are interesting facts about tomato trees: Tomato trees, scientifically known as Lycopersicon esculentum, are actually perennial plants but are commonly grown as annuals in most regions due to their sensitivity to frost. Tomato trees are native to western South America and were first domesticated by the indigenous peoples of Mexico. Despite being called "tomato trees," they are technically not trees but rather large, vine-like plants that can reach heights of 6 to 10 feet or more. The tomato tree is a member of the Solanaceae family, which also includes other popular crops like potatoes, peppers, and eggplants. Tomato trees produce fruits that are botanically classified as berries. They come in a variety of colors, including red, yellow, orange, green, and even purple. These plants require a minimum of 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily to thrive and produce a bountiful harvest. Tomato trees are known for their versatility in culinary uses. They are widely used in salads, sauces, salsas, and countless other dishes worldwide. The fruit of the tomato tree is a rich source of essential vitamins and minerals, particularly vitamin C, vitamin A, and potassium. Tomato trees are self-pollinating plants, meaning they do not require assistance from wind or pollinators like bees to produce fruit. There are thousands of tomato varieties available, ranging in size, shape, flavor, and growth habit. Some popular varieties include Roma, Beefsteak, Cherry, and Heirloom varieties. Tomato trees are susceptible to a variety of diseases and pests, including blight, aphids, and tomato hornworms. Regular monitoring and proper care are essential for maintaining plant health. Tomato trees are often grown in home gardens, greenhouses, and farms worldwide due to their high productivity, relatively easy cultivation, and delicious fruit. Whether you're a seasoned tomato gardener or a beginner, tomato trees offer a rewarding and fruitful growing experience. With proper care and attention, these versatile plants can provide a bumper crop of tasty tomatoes for you to enjoy! Read the full article
