Repository of Tomato Genomic Resources Department of Plant Sciences Research Positions in Tomato Functional Genomics At the Repository of Tomato Genomics Resources, we are working on Tomato Functional Genomics, using TILLING, Insertional Mutagenesis, NGS, proteomics, and metabolomics approach to study fruit ripening in tomato. The current aims of the group include using reverse and forward genetics strategies to isolate tomato mutants delayed in ripening, having high lycopene and folate content in tomato fruits and analysis of light and hormonal signal transduction pathways. For recent publications of the group see (Plant Journal (2017) 92: 495-508; Food Chemistry.2015 DOI10.1016/j.foodchem.2015.01.110, Plant Methods. 2015 11:5 doi:10.1186/s13007-015-0051-0, Plant Cell Environment 2014 37: 1688-1702, Plant Physiology 2014 164: 2030-2044).
