Redesigning the tomato fruit shape for mechanized production
Crop breeding for mechanized harvesting has driven modern agriculture. In tomato, machine harvesting for industrial processing varieties became the norm in the 1970s. However, fresh-market varieties whose frui...

CleanBSequences: an efficient curator of biological sequences in R
This work presents a new method and tool to solve a common problem of molecular biologists and geneticists who use molecular markers in their scientific research and developments: curation of sequences. Omic s...

Open AccessA common genetic mechanism underlies morphological diversity in fruits and other plant organs
Shapes of edible plant organs vary dramatically among and within crop plants. To explain and ultimately employ this variation towards crop improvement, we determined the genetic, molecular and cellular bases o...

A 54-kDa polypeptide identified by 2D-PAGE and bulked segregant analysis underlies differences for pH values in tomato fruit
Fruit pH is an important quality attribute in tomato and it is defined during ripening. The aims of this work were to detect pericarp polypeptides associated with pH in an interspecific tomato BC1 generation by 1...

Preservation of Solanum pimpinellifolium genomic fragments in recombinant genotypes improved the fruit quality of tomato
Five recombinant inbred lines obtained from the F2 generation of an interspecific cross between cultivar, Caimanta (Cai, Solanum lycopersicum) and wild accession, LA722 (P, S. pimpinellifolium) were crossed to ob...

Phenotypic and molecular characterization of selected tomato recombinant inbred lines derived from the cross Solanum lycopersicum × S. pimpinellifolium
An important trait defining fresh tomato marketability is fruit shelf life. Exotic germplasm of Solanum pimpinellifolium is able to prolong shelf life. Sixteen recombinant inbred lines with differing values of sh...
