METS significantly decreased pollen viability.
Solanum lycopersicumVerbatim
e0“METS did not cause a significant change in biomass, the number of flowers, or the number of pollen grains produced, but there was a significant decrease in the number of fruit set, pollen viability and the number of pollen grains released”
t0“Lycopersicon esculentum”
e1“28/22 degrees C (day/night temperatures) as a control”

- Intervention effect Glucose content in the androecium was generally higher in control than METS.
- Intervention effect fructose content in the androecium was generally higher in control than METS.

- Intervention effect Proline content in the androecium was almost the same under METS and control.
- Intervention effect METS significantly decreased the transcript level of proline transporter 1.
- Mechanism The authors attribute failure of tomato fruit set under moderate warming to disrupted sugar metabolism and proline translocation during male reproductive development.
