Article Synopsis
- Diets high in fruits and vegetables positively affect the gut microbiome, but specific impacts of individual foods, like tomatoes, are less understood.
- This study investigates the effects of tomato consumption on gut microbiome profiles using piglets as models, with one group receiving a tomato powder-supplemented diet for 14 days.
- Results showed a beneficial microbial shift in the tomato-fed group, with increased diversity and favorable microbial ratios, indicating potential health benefits that warrant further research in humans.
Apple (Malus × domestica) has commercial and nutritional value, but breeding constraints of tree crops limit varietal improvement. Marker-assisted selection minimises these drawbacks, but breeders lack applications for targeting fruit phytochemicals. To understand genotype-phytochemical associations in apples, we have developed a high-throughput integration strategy for genomic and multiplatform metabolomics data.
