This volume summarizes recent technological advances in the design
and engineering of Solanaceae and Cucurbitaceae crops. It begins
with contributions on the tomato and melon genome sequence,
databases for Solanaceae and Cucurbitaceae research, DNA markers in
the breeding of the two families, and mutant resources and TILLING
platforms in tomato research. Subsequent chapters address the use
of molecular techniques for the modification of important breeding
traits, such as tomato fruit set, growth, ripening, and sugar
accumulation, as well as disease and insect resistance in melons.
The volume closes with chapters on genome editing using artificial
nucleases as a future breeding tool, and on the development of an
in silico crop design system. It offers a valuable resource for
plant breeders, molecular biologists, and agronomists.
