Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Bulk segregant analysis coupled with whole genome sequencing is a powerful approach and cost-effective method to identify loci controlling fruit traits in tomato. Domestication of fruit and vegetable crops was accompanied by selection for weight of the edible parts. Increases in fruit weight are controlled by multiple quantitative trait loci (QTL). To date, only two fruit weight genes have been...
