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

The R1 gene for potato resistance to late blight (Phytophthora infestans) belongs to the leucine zipper/NBS/LRR class of plant resistance genes.

TL;DR: It is shown that R1, the first gene for resistance to late blight, is cloned by combining positional cloning with a candidate gene approach, and is located within a hot spot for pathogen resistance on potato chromosome V.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antioxidant nutritional quality of tomato.

TL;DR: An index, called index of antioxidant nutritional quality (I(QUAN), was proposed as a tool to address the breeding programs in selecting tomato genotypes with antioxidant nutritional qualities.
Journal ArticleDOI

PRGdb: a bioinformatics platform for plant resistance gene analysis.

TL;DR: The development of the PRG platform represents an important starting point to conduct various experimental tasks and the inferred cross-link between genomic and phenotypic information allows access to a large body of information to find answers to several biological questions.
