2. Genetically modified tomato - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetically_modified_tomato

   Tomatoes have been used as a model in map-based cloning, where transgenic plants must be created to prove that a gene has been successfully isolated. [45] The plant peptide hormone , systemin was first identified in tomato plants and genetic modification has been used to demonstrate its function, by adding antisense genes to silence the native ...

   Cross-pollination, where pollen from one plant can only fertilize a different plant; Asexual propagation (e.g. runners from strawberry plants) where the new plant is genetically identical to its parent; Apomixis (self-cloning), where seeds are produced asexually and the new plant is genetically identical to its parent

4. Tomato grafting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomato_grafting

   In tomatoes, increases in fruit yield are typically the results of increased fruit size. [8] Research has shown that possible mechanisms for increased yield are likely due to increased water and nutrient uptake among vigorous rootstock genotypes. Conductance through the stoma was improved in tomato plants when grafted onto vigorous rootstock. [7]

5. Grafting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grafting

   Grafting or graftage [1] is a horticultural technique whereby tissues of plants are joined so as to continue their growth together. The upper part of the combined plant is called the scion (/ ˈ s aɪ ə n /) while the lower part is called the rootstock. The success of this joining requires that the vascular tissues grow together.

   How you plant your tomatoes significantly impacts their growth and yield. Space plants at least 18-24 inches apart to allow air circulation and reduce the risk of diseases.

7. Plant tissue culture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_tissue_culture

   Plant tissue culture is a collection of techniques used to maintain or grow plant cells, tissues, or organs under sterile conditions on a nutrient culture medium of known composition. It is widely used to produce clones of a plant in a method known as micropropagation .
