Interspecific Reproductive Barriers in Tomato
|
We've done it !
New Release of raw Tomato Pollen 454 sequences. (April '10)) We're happy to pre-release some raw 454 sequence reads for public access. These sequences come from two species, S. lycopersicum (cv M82) and S. pennellii (LA0716) dry pollen. View the data here. The Tomato Genome Sequence. (December '09) SGN has just issued a prerelease of the Tomato genome shotgun sequence.This assembly (version 1.0) will have subsequent higher quality and more comprehensive outputs in 2010. Here is a link to SGN who host this release. The Tomato genome is the first of any solanaceae species. It will now act as a reference for future solanaceous genomes to be sequenced including potato, pepper, and many of the wild Tomato species. India hosts Solanaceae Workshop. (November '09) Read a seminar abstract about using pachytene chomosomes for tomato cytology from Dr. Stack Pollen tube staining protocol comparison.(November '09)View the interactive ppt.

Welcome Interspecific Reproductive Barriers in Tomato (IRBT) is a collaborative scientific endeavor to identify and understand the biological processes underlying species isolation within the Tomato family. Our team includes six collaborative laboratories from around the United States that contribute to a multidiscipline research approach. By using the tomato family as a model, specialists in genetics, molecular biology, proteomics, cell biology, and molecular breeding are working together to tackling one of the most fundamental scientific question! What reproductive mechanisms contribute to speciation? |

Tomato haikus:
I say Solanum
you say lycopersicum
just say tomato
