Enhancing plant thermotolerance is an urgent priority to sustain global food production, ensure food security, and mitigate the impacts of climate change on agriculture. Therefore, understanding the complex regulatory networks and metabolic adjustments triggered by elevated temperatures is key to generating the critically needed climate-smart, heat-resistant crops. Besides the well-establ…
Light drives photosynthesis and informs plants about their surroundings. The information provided by the light environment is perceived by multiple plant photoreceptors, including phytochromes (PHYs), which are sensitive to red and far-red light and are implicated in most plant photomorphogenesis events. Regarded as a multifunctional signaling molecule in plants, nitric oxide (NO) has bee…
Fleshy fruit growth and ripening are under strict developmental, hormonal and epigenetic regulation, which in turn are fine-tuned by a plethora of environmental stimuli. Among environmental cues, light plays a significant role in determining fruit growth, pigmentation and timing of ripening. In tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), a major model species for fleshy fruits and leading vegetable cr…
The transition from etiolated to green seedlings involves the conversion of etioplasts into mature chloroplasts via a multifaceted, light-driven process comprising multiple, tightly coordinated signaling networks. Here, we demonstrate that light-induced greening and chloroplast differentiation in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) seedlings are mediated by an intricate crosstalk among phytochr…

The cuticle contributes in multiple ways to the adaptation of plants under different environmental conditions. In fleshy fruits, such as tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum), the control of cuticle formation has a high relevance for both fruit physiology and agronomic/commercial aspects. Recently, studies carried out on A. thaliana plants and maize leaves have demonstrated a possible activatio…
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is one of the most cultivated vegetable plants in the world; however, adverse environmental conditions, both biotic and abiotic, are known to cause causing significant productivity and quality losses in this crop species. Signaling compounds, such as Nitric Oxide (NO), have been successfully used in some plants to improve their response to abiotic stress cond…
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is one of the most cultivated crops in the world; however, adverse abiotic conditions, especially increments in ambient temperature, are well known to cause significant loss in tomato productivity. For most commercial tomato genotypes, increments of a few degrees above the ideal growth temperature result in significant fruit yield reductions. Indeed. Fruit pr…
