Composition of tomatoes and tomato products in antioxidants (WG1) page 53<br />

__________________________________________________________________________________________<br />

concentrations were large enough to have potential consequences for insect herbivores<br />

feeding on tomato plants.<br />

Nitrogen availability was also found by Stout et al.(1998) to have a strong effect on<br />

constitutive levels of phenolics in tomato seedlings grown in sand in a greenhouse. Leaflets<br />

from a given position on 3- to 5-leaf stage plants in the low-N treatment ([N]≤2 mM) had<br />

levels of phenolics more than twice those found in corresponding leaflets from high-N plants<br />

([N]≤8 mM), with plants in the intermediate-N treatment ([N]≤4 mM) having intermediate<br />

levels.<br />

Effect of Phosphorus<br />

In tomato plants, cv. Marglobe, cultivated by Peñalosa et al.(1989) in sand pots in<br />

glasshouse, deficient P levels (0.2 and 0.5 mmol P/l) in the nutrient solution resulted in a<br />

flavonol glycosides decrease in leaves in comparison with adequate P supply (2.0 mmol P/l).<br />

High P level (4.0 mmol P/l) in nutrient solution also led to a decrease in flavonol glycosides<br />

content of leaves at flowering.<br />

6.4.3.3. Fruit development and ripening stage<br />

Hunt and Baker (1980) have identified chalconaringenin, naringenin, naringenin-7glucoside,<br />

and m- and p-coumaric acids as phenolic constituents of tomato fruit cuticles of<br />

three cultivars (Aisa Craig, Alicante and Grower’s Pride). The phenolic content of the cuticles<br />

increased substantially during fruit development, those from immature green and mature ripe<br />

fruit of cv. Ailsa Craig yielding respectively 2.8 and 61 µg/cm² (1.4 and 6% of the total<br />

membrane wt). Phenolics were minor constituents (
