摘要

Genome-scale analyses of variation, gene expression, and metabolite accumulation in ancestral, early domesticates, and modern tomatoes by Zhu et al. identify genes underlying fruit chemistry and demonstrate that alleles affecting metabolic quality have been bred into modern varieties as a result of linkage drag. Similar metabolic hitchhikers are likely ubiquitous in other domesticated species.
