Understanding the evolution of the tomato crop can help improve its yield. Agricultural methods like #GeneEditing are helping to create more resilient tomatoes that can resist the effects of #climatechange. Learn more. bit.ly/37OwV1n

Modern tomatoes are very different from their wild ancestors – and we found missing links in their...

Through genetic detective work, scientists have identified missing links in the tomato’s evolution from a wild blueberry-sized fruit in South America to the larger modern tomato of today.
