Effects of Salinity on Bacterial Spot Disease, Physiology, Growth, Fruit Quality, and Transcriptomic Responses in Tomato Plants
2026-07-13
Abstract excerpt
Soil salinity and bacterial spot of tomato (BST), caused by Xanthomonas perforans, are major abiotic and biotic stresses limiting tomato production, particularly in Florida. While their individual effects are well documented, their combined impacts remain poorly understood. This greenhouse study evaluated how increasing irrigation water salinity (electrical conductivity [EC] = 0.5, 3, 5, or 7 dS m⁻¹) affected toma...
