    Abstract Tomato production in coastal areas in West Africa is constrained by heat stress. There is currently limited empirical evidence on the extent of the effect of heat stress on tomato yield in the sub-region. In this study, we assessed the effects of heat stress on yield and yield components among 16 tomato genotypes with varying heat tolerance status and explored the potential of stress tolerance indices to identify heat tolerant genotypes. The experiments were conducted under three temperature and humidity regimes, namely optimal season (28.37/23.71 °C and 71.0/90.4% day/night), long-term mild and humid (greenhouse, 30.0/26.2 °C and 77.6/97.2%), and long-term mild and dry (open field, 31.50/28.88 °C and 66.72/77.82%) heat stress (HS). All genotypes exhibited significantly higher fruit set percentage, fruit number per plant, fruit weight, and fruit weight per plant in the optimal season compared to both heat stress conditions. In general, the genotypes demonstrated higher performance under dry HS (i.e., HS in open field HSO) than humid HS (i.e., HS in greenhouse HSG). Fruit set decreased by 71.5% and 68.3% under HSG and HSO, respectively, while a reduction of 75.1% and 50.5% occurred in fruit weight per plant under HSG and HSO, respectively. The average sum of ranks values from nine stress tolerance indices and fruit weight per plant (used as proxy trait of yield) identified CLN2498D, CLN3212C, CLN1621L, and BJ01 as heat tolerant under HSG and BJ01, BJ02, Fla.7171, and P005 as heat tolerant under HSO. Fruit weight per plant under long-term heat stress (Ys) and optimal growing conditions (Yp) were suitable to select high performing genotypes under HSO, HSG, and optimal conditions while relative stress index, yield stability index, yield index, stress susceptibility index, and harmonic mean were suitable to select heat tolerant genotypes under either HSG or HSO. Our findings shed light on the extent of the effect of HS on tomato production in the off-season in coastal areas in West Africa and provide new insight concerning the heat tolerance status of the evaluated tomato genotypes.

    Abstract Tomato is an important vegetable crop and plays a major role in the food and nutrition security of the people of Mali. Production has increased in the recent decades but improvement in the fruit yield and quality remains suboptimal. Limited access to the best-adapted tomato varieties to the local conditions, pests and diseases are the major limiting factors for improving productivity. This study evaluated the performance of different tomato entries and varieties for their productivity, resistance to pests and diseases and postharvest fruit quality in Mali. Twenty-two entries and varieties of tomato in the rainy season and twenty-four in the dry season were evaluated. Varieties that were well adapted, better yielded, disease resistant and with good fruit quality were identified. Major plant diseases observed included tomato yellow leaf curve disease (TYLCD), bacterial wilt, bacterial leaf spot, early blight and southern blight. However, TYLCD was the major problem during the dry season. The variety of Icrixina was the most affected by TYLCD in both the rainy and dry seasons, although its total yield was not affected and remained one of the highest. Konica was one of the most susceptible varieties to bacterial wilt and bacterial leaf spot diseases. Tomato accession AVTO1710 provided the highest fruit yield (40.9 t/ha), while AVTO1704 provided the lowest (6.50 t/ha) in the rainy season. In contrast the highest yield during the dry growing season was 20 t/ha from VIO43614. Tomato entries and varieties varied in their postharvest fruit quality attributes (firmness, total soluble solid, pH and dry matter). Production season clearly influenced yield, disease occurrence and severity, as well as postharvest fruit qualities. The study identified better disease-resistant and yielding tomato entries suitable for rainy and dry growing seasons, which can be considered and scaled up for production so that farmers in Mali can produce tomato all year round.

    Abstract Amaranths (Amaranthus sp.) are a popular leafy vegetable grown and consumed by resource-poor people in many African countries. Greater awareness of the importance of nutritious foods has increased demand by African consumers for amaranth. Presently, most African farmers grow low-yielding local varieties of variable seed quality. High-yielding amaranth varieties that are adapted to the major agro-ecologies of eastern and southern Africa possess key traits needed by male and female farmers and meet diverse market preferences are required. The objective of this study was to identify amaranth lines adapted to major amaranth production environments in Kenya and Tanzania using a gender-disaggregated farmers participatory approach to explore possible gender differences in trait and variety preferences. Twenty amaranth entries were evaluated for vegetable yield, agronomic traits, and organoleptic taste tests in replicated, farmer-participatory variety selection trials at one location in Kenya and at four locations in Tanzania. Differences among entries (G), locations (E), and G × E interaction were significant or highly significant for marketable vegetable yield. Location followed by entry was the most important factor that explained differences in yield. G and G × E interaction biplot analysis classified the five locations into two different mega-environments, mainly based on altitude, temperatures, and soil characteristics. Marketable vegetable yield was positively correlated with leaf length, plant height, and the selection scores of female and male farmers at almost all locations. Selection scores of female and male farmers were positively correlated, indicating that male and female farmers shared similar amaranth variety preferences. Farmers identified and ranked important traits that can be used by breeders to design amaranth product profiles and develop amaranth breeding objectives. Lines combining high yield with high farmer and consumer preference scores have been retained for distinctiveness, uniformity, and stability tests for possible release as commercial varieties.

    Abstract This present study was undertaken to (i) assess the performance of hybrids under heat stress, (ii) determine the combining abilities of parental lines and their crosses, and (iii) identify the most efficient heterotic grouping method to classify the lines. We evaluated two sets of hybrids generated using the NC II design and a partial diallel mating design. Most crosses outperformed their parents and the best commercial hybrids for fruit weight per plant (FWP), fruit set (FS), fruit weight (FW), and the number of fruits per plant (NFP) under heat stress. The specific (SCA) and the general (GCA) combining ability variances were significantly higher than zero. The crosses Fla.7171 × P005 and CLN2026D × ATS020 had positive SCA effects and high per se performance for FW and FWP. BJ01 was the best combiner for FWP, NFP, and FS. The SNP‐based heterotic grouping was 28% more efficient than the heterotic grouping based on the GCA of multiple traits method and classified the lines into three groups. These findings provide a foundation for speeding up heat‐tolerant hybrid in tomatoes.

    Abstract Introduction: Intra-articular (IA) corticosteroids, including triamcinolone acetonide (TA), are a recommended treatment for hip osteoarthritis. We compared the safety and systemic exposure of TA extended-release (TA-ER) versus TA crystalline suspension (TAcs) in patients with hip osteoarthritis.
    Methods: In this phase 2, randomized, multicenter, open-label, single-dose study (NCT03382262), patients with hip osteoarthritis were randomly assigned 1:1 to receive single IA injections of TA-ER 32 mg or TAcs 40 mg. Safety assessments included treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). Blood samples were collected for pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis up to day 85. PK parameters included area under the concentration-time curve, total body drug clearance, maximum concentration (C
    Results: Of 30 patients (TA-ER: n = 15; TAcs: n = 15) randomized and included in the Safety Population, 25 patients were evaluated in the PK Population. TEAEs were reported in four of 15 (26.7%) patients who received TA-ER and in seven of 15 (46.7%) patients who received TAcs. The most common TEAEs included arthralgia and headache. All TEAEs were of grade 1 or 2 in severity. TA-ER produced substantially lower peak plasma TA concentrations compared with TAcs (C
    Conclusions: Following a single IA injection in the hip, TA-ER was generally well tolerated, with a safety profile comparable to that of TAcs. Systemic TA exposure was markedly lower in TA-ER-treated patients, consistent with the PK profile observed in knee osteoarthritis.

    Abstract Heat stress adversely affects tomato production worldwide. Breeding thermotolerant varieties is critical to adapt to increased heat stress but tomato has a narrow genetic base for heat tolerance. Identification of new sources of heat-tolerant germplasm is important to understand physiological and molecular mechanisms of adaptation to heat stress and to broaden the genetic base of heat tolerance in tomato. Here, we screened a germplasm collection comprised of 42 tomato entries using 19 quantitative (physiological, reproductive, and morphological) and five qualitative traits. The plants were grown under long term mild heat stress with temperatures and relative humidities ranging from 23.3 to 37 °C, and 47 to 100%, respectively. The analysis of variance revealed significant differences among the entries for all the quantitative traits. Biologically significant associations were recorded for many traits. Proportion of viable pollen was not associated with fruit set percentage. The clustering analysis groups the germplasm into five clusters with a clear distinction between Solanum lycopersicum and Solanum pimpinellifolium entries. We also observed differences between the entries based on their origins. Known thermo-tolerant entries were found in Clusters 3 (eg.: LA2662, LA3317, LA3120) and 4 (e.g.: CL5915-93D4-1-0, CLN1621L, LA2661). Lines BJ01, BJ02 from Republic of Benin, and WAC1 and ATS020 from Ghana in Cluster 3 are potential new sources of thermo-tolerance in tomato. Generation of hybrids from parents belonging to the clusters 1 to 4 identified in this study would improve heterosis for heat tolerance traits in tomato. Useful traits like high pollen viability and high inflorescence numbers per plant could be introgressed from S. pimpinellifolium entries into the cultivated tomato. Our study provides important information to improve heat tolerance in tomato.

    Abstract Invasive tomato leaf miner, Phthorimaea absoluta causes serious damage and yield loss in tomato production in open-field and protected cultivation. Use of chemical pesticides is uneconomical and adversely affects humans and the environment. Host-plant resistance is an effective, economical and eco-friendly alternative to chemical pesticides. In this study, four wild tomato accessions from the World Vegetable Center along with one susceptible check were evaluated for their antixenosis and antibiosis effects on P. absoluta. The accessions VI037241 (Solanum galapagense) and VI037240 (S. cheesmaniae) were highly resistant, leading to 85% larval mortality under no-choice conditions. Choice assay also showed less oviposition preference and reduced pupal weight. Both VI037241 and VI037240 showed the highest resistance under field conditions. The accessions of S. habrochaites (LA1777) and S. habrochaites var. glabratum (VI030462) demonstrated moderate resistance against P. absoluta. Wild accessions recorded significantly less eggs and leaf damage in field trials compared to the susceptible genotype, S. lycopersicum (CL5915). Trichome density, type and higher production of acylsugar contributed to the insect resistance. Acylsugar production in wild accessions was less during the rainy season but significantly higher than in susceptible genotype. These findings can be useful to develop P. absoluta-resistant tomato varieties in tropics.
