Abstract

Tomato belongs to the Solanaceae family of plants. It is a diploid plant with 12 chromosomes. Previous studies have reported that its genome size is 950 MB with 35,000 protein-coding genes. Micro-Tom Tomato is a miniature dwarf determinate tomato cultivar. It has a small-sized genome, a short lifecycle, and a short seed-setting under fluorescent light. These features are similar to those of Arabidopsis. Consequently, Micro-Tom Tomato is considered as a model cultivar of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) suitable for research. We sequenced its transcriptomes to identify tissue-specific gene candidate profiles in different plant tissues (petals, sepals, pistils, and stamens) at developmental stages.
