"Tomato Source" -- The Discovery Files
Researchers from Boyce Thompson Institute -- partnered with the European Research Area Network for Coordinating Action in Plant Sciences (ERA-CAPS) Program -- have created a pan-genome that captures all of the genetic information of 725 closely related wild and cultivated tomatoes. This resource of genetic information -- an expansion of the Tomato Reference Genome, which is limited to a specific tomato variety -- promises to help breeders develop more flavorful and sustainable varieties, and perhaps create more disease- and pest-resistant tomatoes.
