Bioinformatics Position in Tomato Functional Genomics

 At the Repository for Tomato Genomics Resources, we are working on Tomato
Functional Genomics, using TILLING, Insertional Mutagenesis, proteomics, metabolomics
approaches 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 Physiol 161: 2085–
2101, Plant Physiol 156: 1424-1438; Molecular Plant 3: 854-869; Plant Methods 6: 3;
Plant Methods 5:18; Plant Signaling and Behavior 5:11.).
