Facets of the maximum crop yield problem

We previously demonstrated the effectiveness of a hot water (HW) treatment (40 °C for 7 min) to reduce chilling injury (CI) in tomato fruit and described the global transcriptional changes associated with CI tolerance and susceptibility after 2 weeks of cold storage. In this study we describe the early transcriptional responses of HW treated and non-treated tomato fruit after a short-term cold storage (2 and 24 h at 5 °C). RNA-Seq analysis...
