Natural variation in an ABC transporter gene associated with seed size evolution in tomato species.

PLoS genetics - 1 Jan 2009

Orsi Cintia Hotta, Tanksley Steven D

Abstract excerpt

Seed size is a key determinant of evolutionary fitness in plants and is a trait that often undergoes tremendous changes during crop domestication. Seed size is most often quantitatively inherited, and it has been shown that Sw4.1 is one of the most significant quantitative trait loci (QTLs) underlying the evolution of seed size in the genus Solanum-especially in species related to the cultivated tomato. Using a...
