Pan-Genomic Illumination of Tomato Identifies Novel Gene-Trait Interactions

Alisdair R Fernie et al. Trends Plant Sci. 2019 Oct.

Abstract

A recent study by Gao et al., (Nat. Genet., 2019) presents a tomato pan-genome that was constructed using genome sequences of 725 phylogenetically and geographically representative accessions. The study revealed 4873 genes that are absent from the reference genome, including important genes associated with both disease resistance and flavor, thereby providing an important breeding resource.
