Abstract excerpt
Extensive selection for yield and disease resistance during tomato crop improvement has led to flavor loss in modern commercial tomatoes in comparison with heirloom varieties. To investigate the chemical and genetic architecture of tomato flavor through both domestication and improvement, we analyzed flavor-related chemicals across 558 globally collected accessions comprising wild relatives, semidomesticated and...
