TL;DR: A high-quality genome sequence of domesticated tomato is presented, a draft sequence of its closest wild relative, Solanum pimpinellifolium, is compared, and the two tomato genomes are compared to each other and to the potato genome.

TL;DR: Two R2R3-Myb transcription factors are found that positively control the biosynthesis of GSLs in Arabidopsis thaliana by an integrated omics approach and a working model for regulation of GSL production involving these genes, renamed Production of Methionine-Derived Glucosinolate (PMG) 1 and 2 are postulated.

TL;DR: It is suggested that nitrogen availability differentially regulates expression of At IPT3 and AtIPT5, and that AtIPt3 is a key determinant of cytokinin biosynthesis in response to rapid changes in the availability of NO(3)(-).

TL;DR: Co-expression network analysis is a powerful approach for data-driven hypothesis construction and gene prioritization, and provides novel insights into the system-level understanding of plant cellular processes.

TL;DR: Based on the comprehensive characterization of tomato fruit metabolites, it is demonstrated that metabolite annotation facilitates the systematic analysis of unknown metabolites and biological interpretation of their relationships, which provide a basis for integrating metabolite information into the system-level study of plant biology.
