Solanum lycopersicum has been used for a number of firsts in molecular genetics of plants. The use of RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism) to generate a linkage map of a complete plant genome was done with tomato (Bernatzky and Tanksley. Genetics 1986; 112:887-898). Tomato was the organism where quantitative traits were resolved into
More...Mendelian factors (Paterson et al.). The use of allelic variation of RAPD (random amplification of polymorphic DNA) to facilitate map-based walking to agronomically pertinent loci was first done in tomato (Wing et al. and Martin et al.). The creation of a high-density molecular linkage map and the use for comparative genomics were done with tomato and potato (Tanksley et al.). In February 2011 the chromosome pseudomolecules were deposited in NCBI.| | | Organism Overview See also: Genome list Organelle List | Chromosomes Click on chromosome name to open MapViewer |
