Effect of prolonged root hypoxia on the antioxidant content of tomato fruit

2010-09-01

Abstract excerpt

Tomato fruit quality depends on its metabolite content, which in turn is determined by numerous metabolic changes occurring during fruit development and ripening. The aim of this work was to investigate whether flooding affects the nutritional quality of tomato fruit, focusing on compounds essential to human health: carotenoids and ascorbate. To this end, tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum L. cv Micro-Tom) were s...
