Project description:Members of the tomato clade exhibit wide diversity in fruit coloration, growth habit, leaf morphology and mating preferences. However, the mechanisms governing inter-species diversity in fruit coloration are largely unknown. Therefore, a proteomic approach combined with carotenoid profiling and carotenogenic gene expression was used to decipher the diversity in carotenogenesis in green-fruited Solanum habrochaites, orange-fruited S. galapagense, and red-fruited S. pimpinellifolium with S. lycopersicum, cv. Ailsa Craig (tomato).
Project description:RNA-seq of seedlings of four tomato species Solanum habrochaites, Solanum lycopersicum, Solanum pimpinelliolium, and Solanum pennellii. An additional panel of samples include many tissues from Solanum lycopersicum and Solanum pennellii in two light conditions
