TL;DR: The characteristics of the analysed mutant combined with the gene's mode of expression imply SlAGL6 as a key regulator of the transition between the state of ‘ovary arrest’ imposed towards anthesis and the fertilization‐triggered fruit set.

TL;DR: The generation of a comprehensive nanopore sequencing data set with a median read length of 11,979 bp for a self-compatible accession of the wild tomato species Solanum pennellii indicates that such long read sequencing data can be used to affordably sequence and assemble gigabase-sized plant genomes.

TL;DR: The Solanum functional gene cluster evolved by duplication and divergence of TPS genes, together with alterations in substrate specificity to utilize cis-prenyl diphosphates and through the acquisition of CPT genes.

TL;DR: The authors describe the genome sequence of a parasitic plant, Cuscuta campestris, and find that gene losses and host gene acquisitions reflect the independence from photosynthesis and the ability to retain and express chunks of foreign genomic DNA.

TL;DR: This study focused on the Fom-1 gene, which confers resistance to races 0 and 2 (Risser et al.,1976), and on the Prv gene; the two are tightly linked on melon linkage group iX.
