Journal ArticleDOI

Global, regional, and national age-sex specific all-cause and cause-specific mortality for 240 causes of death, 1990-2013: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013

Mohsen Naghavi, +731 more
- 10 Jan 2015 - 
TL;DR: In the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (GBD 2013) as discussed by the authors, the authors used the GBD 2010 methods with some refinements to improve accuracy applied to an updated database of vital registration, survey, and census data.
Journal ArticleDOI

The genome of the stress-tolerant wild tomato species Solanum pennellii

Anthony Bolger, +42 more
- 01 Sep 2014 - 
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative transcriptomics reveals patterns of selection in domesticated and wild tomato

Daniel Koenig, +24 more
- 09 Jul 2013 - 
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Quantitative Genetic Basis for Leaf Morphology in a Set of Precisely Defined Tomato Introgression Lines

Daniel H. Chitwood, +10 more
- 01 Jul 2013 - 
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Modern Ampelography: A Genetic Basis for Leaf Shape and Venation Patterning in Grape

Daniel H. Chitwood, +18 more
- 01 Jan 2014 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a morphometric analysis of more than 1,200 grape accessions was performed, which demonstrated a genetic basis for the intricate diversity present in grape leaves and indicated an important genetic component, which confirmed with estimates of heritability.
