Genes involved in floral meristem in tomato exhibit drastically reduced genetic diversity and signature of selection

Domestication and selection of crops have notably reshaped fruit morphology. With its large phenotypic diversity, tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) illustrates this evolutive trend. Genes involved in flower meristem development are known to regulate also fruit morphology. To decipher the genetic variati...
