Abstract excerpt
Novel diversity may be mined from databases and de novo sequencing, but functional characterization remains a limiting step to identifying new alleles. Classical breeding approaches augmented by marker-assisted selection offer a means to rapidly assess the function of new variation in coding or regulatory regions to modulate traits. We used the Cyc-B gene (B) of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) for a proof of...
