The tomato genome sequence provides insights into fleshy fruit evolution.
Nature - 30 May 2012
Abstract excerpt
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a major crop plant and a model system for fruit development. Solanum is one of the largest angiosperm genera and includes annual and perennial plants from diverse habitats.
