Different shoot tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) genotypes were grafted onto distinctly-different tomato rootstocks and the effect of the rootstock on two important fruit quality parameters, soluble solids content (SSC) and titratable acidity (TA), was studied under both non-saline and saline conditions. Increased SSC and TA in fruits from grafted plants grown under saline conditions were observed on different grafting combinations. One of these rootstocks (cv. Radja) was able to induce increases in both fruit yield and fruit quality traits of the scion. When recombinant inbred lines (RILs) from the crossing of the cultivated tomato and wild tomato (Solanum cheesmaniae) were tested as rootstocks, using the commercial hybrid 'Boludo' as scion, the rootstock also improved SSC and TA when grafted plants were grown under non-saline conditions. On the whole, these results show the effectiveness of grafting with respect to upgrading of fruit quality in tomato, which is of great importance as grafting is a rapid and efficient alternative to achieve this goal.

The main result is that, if h(t) does not vanish too much in some suitable sense, then the equation admits a (unique) almost periodic solution for large values of the parameter c. The class of the h(t)'s to which the result applies is studied in detail: it includes all the nontrivial trigonometric polynomials and is generic in the Baire sense.

For the corresponding evolution problem, such functional inequalities play an important role for identifying the rate of convergence of the solutions towards the stationary solution with same mass.

Research paper thumbnail of Asymptotic Estimates for the Parabolic-Elliptic Keller-Segel Model in the Plane

Communications in Partial Differential Equations, 2014

It was known from previous works that all solutions converge to stationary solutions, with exponential rate when the mass is small. Here we remove this restriction and show that the rate of convergence measured in relative entropy is exponential for any mass in the subcritical range, and independent of the mass. The proof relies on symmetrization techniques, which are adapted from a paper of J.I. Diaz, T. Nagai, and J.-M. Rakotoson, and allow us to establish uniform estimates for L p norms of the solution. Exponential convergence is obtained by the mean of a linearization in a space which is defined consistently with relative entropy estimates and in which the linearized evolution operator is self-adjoint. The core of proof relies on several new spectral gap estimates which are of independent interest. R 2 n 0 dx < 8 π , then there exists a solution u, in the sense of distributions, that is global in time and such that M = R 2 u(t, x) dx is conserved along the evolution in the euclidean space R 2 . There is no non-trivial stationary solution of (1.1) and any solution converges to zero locally as time gets large. In order to study the asymptotic behavior of u, it is convenient to work in self-similar variables. We define R(t) := √ 1 + 2 t, τ (t) := log R(t), and the rescaled functions n and c by u(t, x) := R −2 (t) n τ (t), R −1 (t) x and v(t, x) := c τ (t), R −1 (t) x .

In the rotating reference frame, by a finite dimensional reduction, we prove the existence of non radial stationary solutions whose supports are made of an arbitrarily large number of disjoint compact sets, in the low angular velocity and large scale limit. At first order, the solutions behave like point particles, thus making the link with the relative equilibria in N -body dynamics.
