Crop genomics has seen dramatic advances in recent years due to improvements in
sequencing technology, assembly methods, and computational resources. These advances …

Structural variants (SVs) underlie important crop improvement and domestication traits.
However, resolving the extent, diversity, and quantitative impact of SVs has been …

Humans heavily rely on dozens of domesticated plant species that have been further
improved through intensive breeding. To evaluate how breeding changed the tomato fruit …

Selection for inflorescence architecture with improved flower production and yield is
common to many domesticated crops. However, tomato inflorescences resemble wild …

Deciphering the mechanism of malate accumulation in plants would contribute to a greater
understanding of plant chemistry, which has implications for improving flavor quality in crop …

The histories of crop domestication and breeding are recorded in genomes. Although tomato
is a model species for plant biology and breeding, the nature of human selection that altered …

Background Domestication modifies the genomic variation of species. Quantifying this
variation provides insights into the domestication process, facilitates the management of …

Abstract Over the past 10,000 years, tomato species have undergone both unintentional and
intentional selection to enhance their favorable traits for human consumption and …
