This study maps metabolic QTL in tomato using backcross inbred lines, identifies a novel locus affecting sucrose accumulation, and reveals epistatic interactions influencing fruit metabolism.

The paper characterizes the tomato canal-1 mutant using multi-omics data, showing that green leaves compensate for impaired SCO2 function through transcriptional upregulation, while white leaves fail to compensate and exhibit stress responses.

The paper identifies genetic factors influencing tomato fruit lipid content and links them to flavor-related volatile compounds through GWAS and QTL mapping.

The paper uses nanopore sequencing to assemble a high-quality genome of Solanum pennellii, achieving high gene completeness and structural similarity to a reference genome.
