Effects Of Chlorine, Hydrogen Peroxide, And Ozone On The Reduction Of Mancozeb Residues On Tomatoes, Mehmet Fati̇h Cengi̇z, Muharrem Certel

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

In this study, the effects of widely used oxidizers (chlorine, hydrogen peroxide, and ozone) on the reduction of mancozeb residues on tomatoes were investigated. Mature tomato samples grown in a greenhouse were treated with mancozeb and collected at different time intervals. Mancozeb residue levels in the samples were determined for each interval using a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method. A group of the samples with a residue level of approximately 3 mg kg^{-1} was selected for dipping solutions experiments. Selected samples were dipped into the chlorine (10 and 100 mg L^{-1}), hydrogen peroxide (10 and 100 mg L^{-1}), and ozone (1 …

Different abiotic stresses recruit dedicated signaling and regulatory genes in plants. Genome-wide stress-specific biomarkers were investigated in tomatoes. Three major abiotic stresses were compared: drought, heat, and salinity. For each stress type, 2 different tomato lines were included: susceptible and tolerant. Gene expression was examined by hybridizing to an available tomato microarray. Several stress responsive genes were upregulated in tolerant as well as in susceptible lines for each stress. Comparative analysis of gene expression in response to stress (drought, heat, or salinity) resolved a number of common biomarkers, while other groups of putative biomarkers were associated with each abiotic stress. …
