Analysis of wild tomato introgression lines elucidates the genetic basis of transcriptome and metabolome variation underlying fruit traits and pathogen response
Wild tomato species represent a rich gene pool for numerous desirable traits lost during
domestication. Here, we exploited an introgression population representing wild desert …
