TL;DR: A high-quality genome assembly of the parents of the IL population of S. pennellii is described, defining candidate genes for stress tolerance and providing evidence that transposable elements had a role in the evolution of these traits.

TL;DR: High-throughput sequencing is used to identify changes in DNA sequence and gene expression that differentiate cultivated tomato and its wild relatives and identifies hundreds of candidate genes that have evolved new protein sequences or have changed expression levels in response to natural selection in wild tomato relatives.

TL;DR: It is shown that loss of day-length-sensitive flowering in tomato was driven by the florigen paralog and flowering repressor SELF-PRUNING 5G (SP5G), and the findings suggest that pre-existing variation in SP5G facilitated the expansion of cultivated tomato beyond its origin near the equator in South America.

TL;DR: The genotype of an IL population derived from the wild desert tomato Solanum pennellii at ultrahigh density is provided, providing the exact gene content harbored by each line, and meta-analysis of previously measured traits shows an unexpected relationship between leaf morphology and fruit sugar levels.

TL;DR: It is shown that the circadian clock of cultivated tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) has slowed during domestication, and the EID1 allele in cultivated tomatoes enhances plant performance specifically under long day photoperiods, suggesting that humans selected slower circadian rhythms to adapt the cultivated species to the long summer days it encountered as it was moved away from the equator.
