“…In addition to its economic and nutritional importance, tomatoes have become the model for the study of fleshy fruit development (Karlova et al, 2014; Kim et al, 2018; Li et al, 2018b). The entire tomato genome has been sequenced, serving as a rich genomic resource, and both genetic and physical maps and molecular markers are available for this species (The Tomato Genome Consortium, 2012; Suresh et al, 2014; Zhao et al, 2019).…”

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) belongs to the Solanaceae family and is the second most important fruit or vegetable crop next to potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). It is cultivated for fresh fruit and processed products. Tomatoes contain many health-promoting compounds including vitamins, carotenoids, and phenolic compounds. In addition to its economic and nutritional importance, tomatoes have become the model for the study of fleshy fruit development. Tomato is a climacteric fruit and dramatic metabolic changes occur during its fruit development. In this review, we provide an overview of our current understanding of tomato fruit metabolism. We begin by detailing the genetic and hormonal control of fruit development and ripening, after which we document the primary metabolism of tomato fruits, with a special focus on sugar, organic acid, and amino acid metabolism. Links between primary and secondary metabolic pathways are further highlighted by the importance of pigments, flavonoids, and volatiles for tomato fruit quality. Finally, as tomato plants are sensitive to several abiotic stresses, we briefly summarize the effects of adverse environmental conditions on tomato fruit metabolism and quality.

“…Beside this, photosynthesis response to sound can be measured by IRGA (CO 2 fi xation levels; although diffi cult to detect minor changes) and Pulse Amplitude Modulator (fl uorescence based) instruments. In addition, low levels of plant responses have been detected through transcriptomics [11][12][13][14][15][16]19]. Detection of supposedly minor changes in above-mentioned molecules is technically challenging.…”

Responses of plants to environmental signals have been studied for a long time. These responses are exhibited in the form of morphological and physiological adaptations, and relaying the signal to environment (including other plants) through volatile organic compounds and extrinsic chemicals as well as proteins. However these signals do not correspond to the consciousness in the plants. Recent research in this field has produced evidence of non-physical signals e.g. sound and (electro) magnetic field. Plants produce such signals as well as perceive and respond to these signals. There are many novel techniques that have been used in last three-four decades to understand such signals, mostly acoustic signals. This review summarizes the old knowledge as well as recent developments in the area of generation, perception, integration and processing of acoustic signals by the plants as a response to the environment as well as to communicate among themselves. If understood fully, technological interventions and manipulations of these signals can add an extra tool for crop improvement.

“…Based on these phenotypic changes, a genome-wide survey was performed to identify biomarker(s) responsive to sound wave treatment. 2 Among the NGS technologies, RNA-Seq was considered as the first approach to explore transcriptional changes and obtain mechanistic insights into the changes associated with sound vibration. The significant alterations in the expression of genes involved in ethylene, cytokinin, flavonoid, phenylpropanoid, and glucan biosynthesis, with the sound-specific upregulation of two miRNAs, pre-miR6026 and pre-miR6024 were detected.…”

Sound vibration has been recently identified as an important physical trigger to elicit plant responses. Naturally occurring sound waves modulate diverse aspects of plant physiology, such as root growth, stress responses, and seed germination. However, it has been debated whether plants perceive artificially generated sound vibration and exhibit similar phenotypic changes to those exhibited after perception of natural sound waves. Recently, analysis of RNA-Seq and microRNA-Seq using tomato fruits treated with optimized sound waves to attenuate fruit ripening revealed sound-specific microRNAs, which could be used as soundspecific biomarkers in tomato. These data provide solid molecular evidence of sound perception in plants. Despite these results, there are obvious limitations of biomarkers' specificity and selectivity that need be addressed to facilitate the application of sound treatment in agriculture. Here, the pros and cons of sequencing technologies used to identify sound-associated molecules suggest recommendations for the effective identification of biomarkers responsive to sound treatment in plants.
