Tomato Tomaeto

N. Schauer et al., "Comprehensive metabolic profiling and phe-notyping of interspecific introgression lines for tomato improvement," Nature Biotech, 24:447-54, 2006. (Cited in 51 papers) To explore the genetics behind tomato nutrition and taste, Alis-dair Femie of the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology and collaborators embarked on the first study of tomato quantitative trait loci (QTL), stretches of DNA that underlie traits of interest. By back-crossing cultivated tomato lines with wild species, they created 76 introgression lines of fruit (ILs) harboring "wild" chromosome segments.
