This book describes the strategy used for sequencing, assembling
and annotating the tomato genome and presents the main
characteristics of this sequence with a special focus on repeated
sequences and the ancestral polyploidy events. It also includes the
chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes. Tomato (Solanum
lycopersicum) is a major crop plant as well as a model for fruit
development, and the availability of the genome sequence has
completely changed the paradigm of the species' genetics and
genomics. The book describes the numerous genetic and genomic
resources available, the identified genes and quantitative trait
locus (QTL) identified, as well as the strong synteny across
Solanaceae species. Lastly, it discusses the consequences of the
availability of a high-quality genome sequence of the cultivated
species for the research community. It is a valuable resource for
students and researchers interested in the genetics and genomics of
tomato and Solanaceae.

Fruit ripening is an important aspect of fruit production. The
timing of it affects supply chains and buying behaviour, and for
consumers ripeness not only affects perceptions of health but has
nutritional effects too. Ripeness is closely related to spoilage
which has a major financial impact on agricultural industries.
Currently there are fast moving developments in knowledge of the
factors affecting fruit ripeness, and this up-to-date monograph
seeks to draw together the disparate research in this area. The aim
of the book is to produce a comprehensive account covering almost
every area related to fruit ripening including the latest molecular
mechanisms regulating fruit ripening, its impact on human nutrition
and emerging research and technologies.
