Copy Number Variation Shapes Structural Genomic Diversity Associated With Ecological Adaptation in the Wild Tomato Solanum chilense.

Abstract excerpt

Copy Number Variation (CNV) is a prevalent type of variation affecting large genomic regions which contributes to both genetic diversity and ecological adaptation in plants. The target genes involved in adaptation through CNV in tomato and its wild relatives remain unexplored at the population level. Therefore, we characterized the CNV landscape of Solanum chilense, a wild tomato species adapted to dry habitats,...
