Regulatory change in YABBY-like transcription factor led to evolution of extreme fruit size during tomato domestication.

Nature genetics - 1 Jun 2008

Cong Bin, Barrero Luz S, Tanksley Steven D

Abstract excerpt

Plant domestication represents an accelerated form of evolution, resulting in exaggerated changes in the tissues and organs of greatest interest to humans (for example, seeds, roots and tubers). One of the most extreme cases has been the evolution of tomato fruit. Cultivated tomato plants produce fruit as much as 1,000 times larger than those of their wild progenitors. Quantitative trait mapping studies have...
