This thread should be filed away, me thinks.

Candidate gene selection and detailed morphological evaluations of fs8.1, a quantitative trait locus controlling tomato fruit shape

Genomics of crop wild relatives: expanding the gene pool for crop improvement

Some might find this of interest. The Oct. 2015 Plant Biotechnology Journal has many open access papers and commentary on "molecular farming".

Novel sources of multiple resistance to three races of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici in Lycopersicon germplasm

A little out of date since the I3 and I7 resistance genes have now been cloned, but still good overview of the subject.

The arms race between tomato and Fusarium oxysporum

Have always thought CAM photosynthesis to be an attractive target for engineering into crops. Apparently these authors agree

The pineapple genome and the evolution of CAM photosynthesis

Bacterial Speck resistance.

Identification of a Candidate Gene in Solanum habrochaites for Resistance to a Race 1 Strain of Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato

Fusion_power · November 10, 2015

Bacterial speck tolerance is a target in the Florida breeding program. Very little resistance has been found in other species and virtually none is present in S. Lycopersicum. Meaning this is a very good opportunity to introgress some useful traits into domestic tomato. As usual with S. Habrochaites, there will be a ton of linkage drag to resolve.

Well, there are elegant solutions for that.

Starting to feel like winter again!

Science Daily explanation:

Scientists use CRISPR technology to edit crop genes

The real science:

Induction of targeted, heritable mutations in barley and Brassica oleracea using RNA-guided Cas9 nuclease

Only a matter of time until the Nobel is awarded for this:

More from Prof. Doudna. Not the best cinematography though.
