Sentence examples for maps of tomato from inspiring English sources

To speed up gene mapping efforts in this species we generated a genetic map that is anchored to the high-quality genetic/physical maps of tomato.

However, many of the markers on the linkage maps of tomato [ 38], barley [ 39] and maize [ 40] have been reported to be clustered.

Comparing the genetic maps of tomato, potato, eggplant, pepper and Nicotiana has permitted us, in many instances, to deduce the genome arrangement of their MRCAs and to determine in which lineage chromosomal rearrangements occurred.

This map was compared to the maps of tomato, potato and eggplant in order to elucidate chromosomal evolution within the genus and to contribute to future gene mapping efforts.

In interspecific linkage maps of tomato and its relatives, markers derived from ESTs tend to distribute randomly along the genome, while markers derived from random genomic regions, e.g. RAPD, AFLP, and genomic SSRs, tend to form clusters in heterochromatic regions.

To better understand chromosome evolution in the Solanaceae, the genetic map was subsequently compared to the integrative maps of tomato (S. lycopersicum), potato (S. tuberosum), eggplant (S. melongena), pepper (Capsicum annuum), tobacco (Nicotiana) and their deduced common ancestors, as presented by Wu and Tanksley [ 32] (Additional file 2: Figure S1).

Comparison between the maps of Tomato-EXPEN 2000 and the two intraspecific mapping populations did not indicate any evidence of an obvious relationship between the marker clusters on the maps and chromosome structures, i.e. the heterochromatic and euchromatic regions (Fig.  1).

We used clone-end sequences [T7 and SP6 and 26-nucleotide sequence tags (http://solgenomics.net)] from the Whole Genome Profiling physical map of tomato (Van Oeveren et al. 2011) to map BACs to the genome assembly using BLAST and SOAP (Altschul et al. 1990; Li et al. 2008).

Tanksley SD, Ganal MW, Prince JP et al. High density molecular linkage maps of the tomato and potato genomes.

The expression pattern of the genes in different tissues was drawn using R script based on an average of normalized expression (RPKM mapped reads) of tomato bHLH genes from RNA-seq data [ 21].

Comparison of our results to those of other QTL mapping studies of tomato was limited because some studies were conducted in only a single environment (Monforte and Tanksley 2000; van der Knaap et al. 2002; Semel et al. 2006) or did not test for or report on genotype × environment interactions (Causse et al. 2007; Mathieu et al. 2009).
