Abstract excerpt
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), one of the world's most valuable vegetable crops, has suffered from diminished genetic diversity and stress resistance. Wild tomatoes serve as an invaluable genetic reservoir, yet their potential for stress resilience remains largely unexploited in tomato breeding. Here we report a genus-wide super-pangenome across 16 tomato species by integrating 20 telomere-to-telomere genomes and...
