Journal ArticleDOI
fw2.2: a quantitative trait locus key to the evolution of tomato fruit size.
Anne Frary,T. Clint Nesbitt,Amy Frary,Silvana Grandillo,Esther van der Knaap,Bin Cong,Jiping Liu,Jaroslaw Meller,Ron Elber,Kevin B. Alpert,Steven D. Tanksley +10 more
TL;DR: Alterations in fruit size, imparted by fw2.2 alleles, are most likely due to changes in regulation rather than in the sequence and structure of the encoded protein.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rewiring of the Fruit Metabolome in Tomato Breeding.
Guangtao Zhu,Shouchuang Wang,Zejun Huang,Shuaibin Zhang,Qinggang Liao,Chunzhi Zhang,Tao Lin,Mao Qin,Meng Peng,Chenkun Yang,Xue Cao,Xu Han,Xiaoxuan Wang,Esther van der Knaap,Zhonghua Zhang,Xia Cui,Harry J. Klee,Alisdair R. Fernie,Jie Luo,Jie Luo,Sanwen Huang +20 more
TL;DR: The study reveals a multi-omics view of the metabolic breeding history of tomato, as well as provides insights into metabolome-assisted breeding and plant biology.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: SUN, one of the major genes controlling the elongated fruit shape of tomato, was positionally cloned and found to encode a member of the IQ67 domain–containing family, and it is shown that the locus arose as a result of an unusual 24.7-kilobase gene duplication event mediated by the long terminal repeat retrotransposon Rider.

TL;DR: Humanity depends on fewer than a dozen of the approximately 300,000 species of flowering plants for 80% of its caloric intake and capitalize on only a fraction of the genetic diversity that resides within each of these species.

TL;DR: This panSV genome, along with 14 new reference assemblies, revealed large-scale intermixing of diverse genotypes, as well as thousands of SVs intersecting genes and cis-regulatory regions, and showed how multiple SVs that changed gene dosage and expression levels modified fruit flavor, size, and production.
