This research explores the molecular mechanisms behind the insecticidal properties of wild tomato species. By studying specific proteins involved in trichome development, it aims to enhance pest resistance in cultivated tomatoes, promoting sustainable agriculture.
Insects like whitefly are virus-vectors causing substantial crop losses worldwide.
They gain resistance to current commercially available pesticides, which are harmful to the environment.
Therefore, there is a clear need to integrate sustainable alternatives in crop protection.
Wild tomato species have the capacity to defend themselves by producing a wide variety of natural defense compounds that have a toxic or repellent effect inside trichomes.
Glandular trichomes are hair-like structures on t…
