Preface
The Tomato Genome Sequence: How Did It Happen and Why Does It Matter? The tomato genome sequencing project was initiated as part of the International Solanaceae Project (SOL) by a large international consortium of 10 countries (Korea, China, UK, India, The Netherlands, France, Japan, Spain, Italy and the United States). The tomato was chosen as reference species for the Solanaceae due to the high level of macro and micro-synteny within this plant family which comprises more than 3000 species among which some are important crops such as the fruit-bearing vegetables tomato, eggplant, and pepper, and the tuber-bearing potato, in addition to a number of medicinal and ornamental
