Article Synopsis
- A new eight-way tomato MAGIC population (ToMAGIC) was created by intercrossing different tomato accessions, aimed at enhancing the use of genetic resources for breeders.
- The population includes 354 lines with extensive genotyping, revealing high homozygosity and balanced representation of ancestral genetic material.
- Initial testing showed strong links between various traits like fruit size and pigmentation to specific genes, suggesting ToMAGIC lines could significantly aid tomato breeding by introducing new genetic variations.
