abstract = {Understanding the effects of root temperature on plant
growth and key food components of horticultural crops under
greenhouse conditions is important. Here, we assess the
impact of root cooling on plant growth and fruit quality of
two cocktail tomato cultivars (Lycopersicon esculentum cv
“Amoroso” and cv “Delioso”) during the winter of
2017-2018 and the summer of 2018. Plants were grown
hydroponically on rockwool under different root temperatures
(16–27°C and 10°C) from the 2nd inflorescence to harvest
inside the greenhouse. A root temperature of 10°C was
controlled independently from air temperature (18–23°C in
winter and 21–29°C in summer) by circulating cooling
water. Reductions of marketable yield per plant
$(7.9–20.9\%)$ in both cultivars were observed in response
to root cooling in winter, but not significantly in summer.
In most cases, root cooling had a positive effect on the
functional quality (sugars, vitamin C, and carotenoids
levels). In the case of “Delioso,” glucose concentration
increased by $7.7–10.3\%,$ vitamin C by $20–21\%,$ and
lycopene by $16.9–20.5\%$ in both seasons. “Amoroso”
exhibited only higher consistent values in glucose with
increments between 6.9 and $7.8\%$ in the two seasons. The
levels of elements decreased by root cooling, with
statistically significant reduction of N, P, S, and Fe by
$12.1–15.7\%$ in “Delioso” in winter and P and Zn by
$9.1–22.2\%$ in both cultivars in summer. Thus,
manipulation of root temperature could be a feasible method
to improve the overall fruit quality of cocktail tomato;
however, this effect was also dependent on cultivars and
other environmental factors.},
