Abstract excerpt
Laboratory-grown miniature tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) cultivar Micro-Tom has attracted attention as a host for functional genomics research. In this study, we generated 35,824 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from leaves and fruits of Micro-Tom. The ESTs comprised 10,287 unigenes (5007 contigs and 5280 singletons), including 1858 novel tomato unigenes. Of the 18 unigenes that shared strong homology with...
