The use of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) to extend the shelf life of cherry tomato (.Lycopersicon esculentum var. Cerasiforme) delayed the ethylene-induced climacteric peaks in mature green and breaker fruits, chlorophyll degradation, and accumulation of lycopene and carotenoids (Opiyo and Tie-Jin 2005). Higher 1-MCP concentrations inhibited the accumulation of lycopene and carotene such that the color of the fruit did not reach that of control fruit.

The fruit of a number of solanaceous plants, including tomato Lycopersicon esculentum), potato Solanum tuberosum) and eggplant Solarium melongena esculentum), have cholinesterase-inhibiting effects (Krasowski et al. 1997). They contain solanaceous glycoalkaloids o-solanine and o-chaconine, which are triglycosides of solanidine, a steroidal alkaloid derived from cholesterol. They are the only plant chemicals known to inhibit both acetlycholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase, both in vitro and in vivo.

Wang et al. (1996) found that a 1 ppm solution of 1,4-dichlorobenzene was taken up by carrots Daucus car Ota, 49%), soybeans Glycine max, 50%), and red goosefoot Chenopodium rubrum, 62%), but not by tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum). Only the soybean cell cultures provided evidence of the existence of metabolites of this compound, probably conjugates of chlorophenol. The authors further observed that the uptake, metabolism, and toxicity of 1,4-dichlorobenzene differed among the species tested.
