Solanum habrochaites strain:LYC4 Genome sequencing. Solanum habrochaites strain:LYC4

The aim of the 150 Tomato Genomes Sequencing project is to reveal and explore the genetic variation available in tomato and in wild species relatives. Exploiting wild and early domesticated resources has the potential to genetically enrich extant crops with alleles that can improve traits that have recently become important in the face of new challenges and requirements regarding climate change, sustainable production and a growing demand for more and better food. The 150 Tomato Genome Sequencing project is a Sino-Dutch collaboration of which the Chinese part is funded and executed by the Beijing Genomics Institute (BGI Shenzhen). The Dutch part is funded by the Technological Top institute Green Genetics (TTI-GG), international breeding industry, and the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs, Agriculture and Innovation.
