Abstract excerpt
Anthocyanins are potential health-promoting compounds in the human diet. The atv (atroviolacium) locus, derived from the wild tomato species Solanum cheesmaniae, has been shown to enhance anthocyanin pigmentation in tomato fruit when it co-exists with either the Aft (Anthocyanin fruit) or the Abg (Aubergine) locus. In the present study, the atv locus was fine-mapped to an approximately 5.0-kb interval on...
