An unfamiliar class of electrical events with rapid rise and slow decay has been identified in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) plants impaled by metal electrodes. Rise-times of these extracellularly detected events can be 200 µs or less, while fall-times can require hundreds of milliseconds. In excised tomato shoots, these events are associated with the imposition of water stress. The hypothesized origin of these events is the fracture of water columns in the xylem and the triboelectrification that occurs as the ends of the columns snap apart.

Supplementary lighting using high-pressure-sodium (HPS) lamps modified mineral nutrition of greenhouse tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) and increased water uptake. Supplementary lighting of 30 and 60 W m−2 (PAR) increased water uptake by 35 and 70%, respectively. Nitrate, phosphate and calcium uptake was also increased. The highest irradiance (60 W m−2) increased potassium, magnesium and manganese uptake. Calcium and magnesium concentration in foliar tissues increased with irradiance, but at the same time nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus and sodium concentration decreased. The effect of nitrogen metabolism on cation uptake could partially explain the results.Key words: Tomato, supplementary HPS lighting, irradiance, mineral nutrition, Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.
