Solanum lycopersicum cultivar:Hazera 3042 Transcriptome or Gene expression
Heat stress limits yield in many crops including tomato. This study aims to illuminate the mechanisms of heat tolerance in pollen as seen in the heat tolerant tomato cultivar Hazera 3042. Tomato plants of the cultivar Hazera 3042 were grown in two temperature-controlled greenhouses. One greenhouse (control) was configured for optimal grown with daytime temperature of 25 degrees C and nighttime temperature of 18 degrees C. The other greenhouse (treatment) was set to 32 degrees C daytime temperature and 26 degrees C nighttime temperature. Several times during Sept and October of 2013, pollen samples were collected from plants in each greenhouse. Each collection consisted of one batch of pollen harvested from several plants in the control group and another batch harvested from several plants in the treatment group.
