Transcriptome of Solanum lycopersicum and Solanum pennellii under abiotic stresses

Here the transcriptome of the widely cultured Solanum lycopersicum var. Lyterno and its wild relative Solanum pennellii were investigated and compared. Plants were grown under industrial like conditions on rock wool cubes in plant chambers for six weeks before applying various abiotic stresses (increased light, reduced or increased temperatures, nitrogen deficiency, and combinations thereof) for seven days. The fourth true leaf was harvested and used for transcriptome analysis to investigate the potential to produce valuable metabolites in green residuals.
