Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Tomato fruit weight is primarily controlled by stable genetic effects and domestication-/improvement-associated loci, including prominent chromosome 5 signals, and integrating SNP, INDEL, and SV diversity improves candidate-locus discovery, biological interpretation, and genomic prediction across environments. Tomato fruit weight (fw) is a major breeding target shaped by domestication, crop...
