Importantly, Ouonkap found that pollen tubes from the Tamaulipas variety of tomato, known to be tolerant to heat, have enhanced growth under high temperature. His molecular analysis of the pollen ...

Likewise, some tomato varieties have a high heat tolerance and are less prone to blossom drop or problems with ripening.

Here are a few heat tolerant varieties we have tested that are available to home gardeners. Using straw as mulch can help to keep soil cool, which is important for crops like tomatoes and lettuce.

Some tomato varieties don’t mind cold soil and air, and others thrive in hot weather. Planting cold-tolerant varieties at the beginning of the season and heat-tolerant varieties a month or two later ...

Specifically, the study reveals a novel mechanism by which tomato plants actively mitigate heat stress and stabilize yield through the developmental reprogramming of shoot apical stem cells.

The project therefore aims to build an innovative breeding platform using advanced molecular breeding and genome editing technology that can rapidly develop heat tolerant tomatoes and disease ...
