Abstract excerpt
Glandular trichomes produce and exude secondary metabolites, conferring insect resistance in many crop species. Whereas some of its wild relatives are insect-resistant, tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is not. Identifying the genetic changes that altered trichome development and biochemistry during tomato domestication would contribute to breeding for insect resistance. A mutation in the HAIRS ABSENT (H) gene, which...
