The aim of the 000 Tomato Genome ReSequencing project is to reveal and explore the genetic variation available in tomato. Tomato has been selected as target crop because it is economically one of the most important crop species for the Dutch breeding industry, and is one the most important vegetables globally. However, since the tomato shows only limited genetic diversity in commercial breeding lines, valuable alleles will be available in wild tomato relatives. Since breeding and selection was targeted at only a narrow range of desirable agricultural traits, also old breeding material could be source of interesting alleles that have been lost during domestication.
