Genomic variation across distribution of Micro-Tom, a model cultivar of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum).

ABSTRACT: Micro-Tom is a cultivar of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), which is known as a major crop and model plant in Solanaceae. Micro-Tom has phenotypic traits such as dwarfism, and substantial EMS-mutagenized lines have been reported. After Micro-Tom was generated in Florida, USA, it was distributed to research institutes worldwide and used as a genetic resource. In Japan, the Micro-Tom lines have been genetically fixed; currently, three lines have been re-distributed from three institutes, but many phenotypes among the lines have been observed. We have determined the genome sequence de novo of the Micro-Tom KDRI line, one of the Micro-Tom lines distributed from Kazusa DNA Research Institute (KDRI) in Japan, and have built chromosome-scale pseudomolecules. Genotypes among six Micro-Tom lines, inc
