Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.), family Solanaceae, has become in the past fifty years
one of the most important and extensively grown horticultural crops in the Mediterranean …

During the last years, a great effort has been dedicated at the development and employment
of diverse approaches for achieving more stress‐tolerant and climate‐flexible crops and …

Modern tomatoes have narrow genetic diversity limiting their improvement potential. We
present a tomato pan-genome constructed using genome sequences of 725 …

We present RaGOO, a reference-guided contig ordering and orienting tool that leverages
the speed and sensitivity of Minimap2 to accurately achieve chromosome-scale assemblies …

Selection for inflorescence architecture with improved flower production and yield is
common to many domesticated crops. However, tomato inflorescences resemble wild …

The process of plant domestication is often protracted, involving underexplored intermediate
stages with important implications for the evolutionary trajectories of domestication traits …

Shapes of edible plant organs vary dramatically among and within crop plants. To explain
and ultimately employ this variation towards crop improvement, we determined the genetic …

Tomatoes come in a multitude of shapes and flavors despite a narrow genetic pool. Here,
we leverage whole-genome resequencing data available for 602 cultivated and wild …

A dramatic evolution of fruit size has accompanied the domestication and improvement of
fruit-bearing crop species. In tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), naturally occurring cis …

Tomato flavor has changed over the course of long-term domestication and intensive
breeding. To understand the genetic control of flavor, we report the meta-analysis of genome …
