In tomatoes, grafting onto resistant rootstocks represents an effective strategy to control several soil-borne diseases that reduce crop profitability, especially for landraces with little or no resistance to multiple pathogens/pests. In this study, the high-value 'Corbarino' tomato landrace was grafted onto seven commercial Solanum interspecific r...
Tomatoes ( Solanum lycopersicon L.) are one of the most important and most widely consumed vegetables in the world. The fruit contains considerable amount of different phytonutrients such as carotenoids, tocopherols, and vitamin C. In the present work, effects of some abiotic factors on the concentration of phytonutrients were investigated in tomat...

... After harvest, the plant matures quickly and must be appropriately stored. The plant was traditionally used to treat oral diseases [4]. Consumer preferences for these exotic vegetables have recently expanded the market. ...
Silk fibroin coating was used in this study as an edible coating for Solanum ferox (S. ferox), tropical fruit from Borneo. The
effect of different concentration coatings and dip time on fruit quality attributes during storage was evaluated via response
surface methodology. The optimal parameters were 2% silk fibroin concentration and 2 min of dip time. The optimized data
for silk fibroin-coated fruit, carboxymethylcellulose-coated fruit and uncoated fruit as a control were compared. The weight
loss and firmness at day 11 for fruit coated with silk fibroin were 14.9% and 3.07 N, respectively, compared to 13.49% and
3.53 N for fruit coated with carboxymethylcellulose. Uncoated fruit revealed a weight loss was 28.11% and firmness was
4.3 N. On day 11, the fruit coated with silk fibroin had chemical properties of 3.6 and 4 for total soluble solids (TSS) and
pH, respectively. The carboxymethylcellulose-coated fruit had a TSS of 4.2 and a pH of 3.3. The uncoated fruit had a TSS
of 4.3 and a pH of 5.2. In comparison to uncoated fruits, the ripening process of fruits coated with silk fibroin was slowed.
Silk fibroin is suggested to be an effective edible coating for preserving fruit quality and extending its shelf life.
... It can synthesize extracellular polysaccharides from sucrose, mainly water-insoluble glucan, which triggers plaque formation (Severiano et al., 2010). The ethanolic extract from flesh and leaf of S. ferox Linn (suppressed name) has been claimed to possess anticariogenic properties against S. pyogenes and S. aureus (Raduan et al., 2019). According to the results, the S. pyogenes is more susceptible to flesh and ethanol extracts (dosage required is 40-160 mg/mL) compared to S. aureus (dosage required is 1280-2560 mg/ mL). ...
... The presence of phytochemicals such as alkaloids, flavonoids and tannins, either singly or in combination, may contribute to the anticariogenic properties against the S. pyogenes and S. aureus (Raduan et al., 2019). Alkaloids are claimed to have bactericidal activity against oral bacteria (Hu et al., 2000). ...
