Abstract excerpt
Many floral phenotypes have been described in decades of tomato genetics, but for very few of them the underlying genes have been identified so far. Because the increasing availability of genome sequence data will facilitate forward genetics in tomato, novel descriptive and map information will help the attribution of genes to phenotypes. In this contribution, we present our work on pistillate (pi), a genotype...
