Genetic history of tomatoes revealed by new sequencing

14 octubre 2014

The sequencing of 360 tomato varieties has yielded a ‘genetic history’ of the popular food crop. An important finding is that specific regions of the tomato genome were unintentionally depleted in genetic variation: for example, in DNA around genes conferring larger fruit size or genes for resistance to diseases afflicting tomato plants.
