“…Tomatoes can be consumed as both fresh salad and processed food. Daily consumption of tomato products may provide a superb combination of healthy substances such as minerals, vitamins, favonoids, and antioxidant compounds like lycopene, beta-carotene, and lutein [21,22]. Among the antioxidant compounds, lycopene and carotenoids contribute to reddening and enhancing the nutritional quality of tomato fruits [22].…”

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are symbiotically associated with crops. They increase biomass production, nutritional elements, and antioxidant activities in food and vegetable crops grown in soil under stress conditions. The present study focused on the effects of AMF (Acaulospora morrowiae, Paraglomus occultum, Funneliformis mosseae, Rhizophagus clarus, and Rhizophagus intraradices) on biomass growth and yield, contents of chlorophyll and carotenoids, activities of catalase (CAT) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and contents of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), malondialdehyde (MDA), and minerals (Na, K, Ca, Mg, and Fe) in Unnayan, LT896, and Minto super tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) varieties grown in soil under drought stress (<10% moisture). The results showed that root length and shoot mass in plants treated with R. clarus and P. occultum were significantly higher than those of the control (non-AMF) in Minto super tomato. Compared to the control, the shoot’s dry weight and yield were enhanced by 28% and 20% with AMF-treated tomatoes. The CAT activity in P. occultum-treated plants was statistically higher than that of the control in Unnayan tomatoes. H2O2 content was detected higher in the control than R. clarus-treated LT896 tomatoes. In plants treated with A. morrowiae and R. clarus, APX activity was significantly higher than that of the control in the Unnayan tomatoes. CAT and APX activity increased by 42% and 66% in AMF-treated leaves of tomatoes compared to non-AMF. Treatment with AMF reduced the content of MDA and H2O2 (ROS) in the leaves of tomato plants by 50% and 2% compared to the control, respectively. Potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and iron (Fe) of tomato fruits increased by 2%, 13%, 24%, and 37% with AMF treatment compared to the control. These results suggested that biomass growth, yield, photosynthetic pigments, antioxidant enzyme activity, and mineral contents could be enhanced by AMF in food crops grown under drought stress. It is concluded that AMF might be used for the development of AMF-enriched biofertilizers that will improve the nutritional quality of food crops grown under stress conditions.

“…Soil fertility, particularly potassium availability, has an impact on the properties of tomato fruits. This nutrient is strongly associated to fruit quality and plays significant roles in plants such as osmotic control, enzyme activation, photoassimilate transport, carbon dioxide assimilation, and transpiration (Ahammed et al, 2022). Potassium is the most efficient cation for tomato plants and plays a vital role in the enhancement of several postharvest quality attributes in tomato fruits and nearly all vegetables (Zulfiqar et al, 2020).…”

An iodine biofortification experiment was conducted by applying potassium iodate fertilizer in soil and foliar form and chitosan complex forms to investigate the growth, yield, quality and uptake of iodine in shivam hybrid of tomato in Palaviduthi soil series of Coimbatore region. Soil fertilization alone resulted in lower uptake of iodine in fruits because the iodine is susceptible to high volatilization and less phytoavailability and also resulted in less yield and poor quality of fruits. When the chitosan and potassium iodate were applied in combination through foliar form, the quality of the fruits was found to be superior (carotene-1.24 mg 100gm-1 ascorbic acid- 3.56 mg 100gm-1, titrable acidity-0.96%), with higher fruit yield (94.81 t ha-1) and uptake of iodine in fruits (0.99ppm). Potassium iodate alone, either in the form of soil or foliar application, increased the quality of fruits, but it did not prevent the loss of various pigments and acids during ripening and also the loss of iodine through volatilization. But chitosan conserved the losses by reducing the respiration rate and oxygen permeability. Further, chitosan formed an electrostatic interaction with potassium iodate, preventing volatilisation and gradually increasing the bioavailability of iodine from soil to fruits. Hence biofortifying iodine in the form of potassium iodate chitosan complex was preferred for enhancing yield, improving quality and increasing the iodine content in fruits.

Editorial: Targeted and untargeted metabolomics for the evaluation of plant metabolites in response to the environment

Over 200 thousand unique metabolites constitute the extremely intricate and diverse plant metabolome (Sousa Silva et al., 2019). Understanding plant growth, development, and responses to environmental perturbations largely rely on the identification and characterization of these diverse metabolites (Allwood et al., 2021). Metabolomics allows the comprehensive study of the complex biochemistry of plant-environment interactions, enabling researchers to better understand plant growth as well as stress responses (Wu et al., 2023). Thus, applications of metabolomics to plant science hold tremendous promise. Metabolomics can broadly be classified into un-targeted and targeted metabolomics (Allwood et al., 2021). Untargeted metabolomics attempts to analyze all detectable metabolites from the sample, including unknown compounds (Christ et al., 2018). However, targeted metabolomics focuses on the analysis of specific categories of metabolites with more selectivity and sensitivity (Roberts et al., 2012). Nonetheless, both un-targeted and targeted metabolomics have benefits and drawbacks, and they are often employed together to detect and precisely quantify diverse metabolites (Allwood et al., 2021;Wu et al., 2023). Currently, multiple analytical platforms allow both targeted metabolite profiling and untargeted metabolic fingerprinting using different strategies. This Research Topic is a compilation of 5 research articles that highlight the state-of-theart and cutting-edge methods of metabolomics in plant research.Light, one of the most important environmental factors for plants, not only drives photosynthesis but also alters the nutritional contents and compositions of edible plant products (Xu et al., 2021;Ahammed et al., 2022). Grape (Vitis vinifera L.) berry seeds are rich in oil content and have nutraceutical and pharmacological values. Interestingly, grape seeds are capable to continue photosynthetic activity even at the mature stage (Garrido et al., 2021). Garrido et al. followed an untargeted metabolomics approach using liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-MS) to analyze the Frontiers in Plant Science frontiersin.org 01
