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.

TL;DR: A comprehensive analysis of tomato evolution based on the genome sequences of 360 accessions provides evidence that domestication and improvement focused on two independent sets of quantitative trait loci (QTLs), resulting in modern tomato fruit ∼100 times larger than its ancestor.

TL;DR: This study is the first to provide evidence that the Sly-miR169c negatively regulates stomatal movement in tomato drought responses, and demonstrates howutive over-expression of a miR169 family member in tomato plant can efficiently down-regulate the transcripts of the target genes.

TL;DR: In this paper, suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) and microarray approaches were combined to identify the potential important or novel genes involved in the early stage of tomato responses to severe salt stress.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the overexpression of two members of the GME gene family resulted in increased ascorbate accumulation in tomato and improved tolerance to abiotic stresses.
