Journal ArticleDOI

The tomato genome sequence provides insights into fleshy fruit evolution

Shusei Sato, +323 more
- 31 May 2012 - 
TL;DR: A high-quality genome sequence of domesticated tomato is presented, a draft sequence of its closest wild relative, Solanum pimpinellifolium, is compared, and the two tomato genomes are compared to each other and to the potato genome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome sequence and analysis of the tuber crop potato.

Xun Xu, +96 more
- 10 Jul 2011 - 
TL;DR: The potato genome sequence provides a platform for genetic improvement of this vital crop and predicts 39,031 protein-coding genes and presents evidence for at least two genome duplication events indicative of a palaeopolyploid origin.
Journal ArticleDOI

The tomato DWARF enzyme catalyses C-6 oxidation in brassinosteroid biosynthesis

TL;DR: Data show that DWARF is involved in the C-6 oxidation of 6-deoxoCS to CS, the immediate precursor of brassinolide in BR biosynthesis, and the intermediate 6alpha-hydroxycastasterone was identified, indicating that DwarF catalyzes two steps inBR biosynthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plants steroid hormones, brassinosteroids: current highlights of molecular aspects on their synthesis/metabolism, transport, perception and response.

TL;DR: This review highlights the recent advances in unraveling BR synthesis/metabolism, transport, perception and response through the analysis of BR mutants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brassinosteroids and plant steroid hormone signaling.

TL;DR: Brassinolide is the most bioactive form of the growth-promoting plant and plays a role as essential hormones in plants as well as in animals.
