Tomato is a well-established model organism for studying many biological processes including resistance and susceptibility to pathogens and the development and ripening of fleshy fruits. The availability of the complete Arabidopsis genome sequence will expedite map-based cloning in tomato on the basis of chromosomal synteny between the two species, and will facilitate the functional analysis of tomato genes.
番茄是一种成熟的模式生物,可用于研究许多生物学过程,包括对病原体的抗性和易感性以及肉质果实的发育和成熟。拟南芥完整基因组序列的可得性将基于这两个物种之间的染色体同线性加速番茄中基于图谱的克隆,并将促进番茄基因的功能分析。
