Abstract:Solanum sitiens is a self-incompatible wild relative of tomato, characterised by salt and drought resistance traits, with the potential to contribute to crop improvement in cultivated tomato. This species has a distinct morphology, classification and ecotype compared to other stress resistant wild tomato relatives such as S. pennellii and S. chilense. Therefore, the availability of a high-quality reference genome for S. sitiens will facilitate the genetic and molecular understanding of salt and drought resista… Show more
