Differences between plant genomes range from single nucleotide polymorphisms to large-
scale duplications, deletions and rearrangements. The large polymorphisms are termed …

The histories of crop domestication and breeding are recorded in genomes. Although tomato
is a model species for plant biology and breeding, the nature of human selection that altered …

Structural variations (SVs) and copy number variations (CNVs) contribute to trait variations in
fleshy-fruited species. Here, we assemble 10 genomes of genetically diverse Malus …

We explored genetic variation by sequencing a selection of 84 tomato accessions and
related wild species representative of the Lycopersicon, Arcanum, Eriopersicon and …

The ideotype is a theoretical model of an archetypal cultivated plant. Recent progress in
genome editing is aiding the pursuit of this ideal in crop breeding. Breeding is relatively …

Cis-regulatory mutations underlie important crop domestication and improvement traits,.
However, limited allelic diversity has hindered functional dissection of the large number of …

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is regarded as a model plant of the Solanaceae family. The
genome sequencing of the tomato cultivar 'Heinz 1706'was recently completed. To …

The history of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) improvement includes genetic bottlenecks,
wild species introgressions, and divergence into distinct market classes. This history makes …

Many economically important crop species are relatively depauparate in genetic diversity
(eg, soybean, peanut, tomato). DNA polymorphism within cultivated tomato has been …

Introgression lines (ILs), in which genetic material from wild tomato species is introgressed
into a domesticated background, have been used extensively in tomato (Solanum …
