I am thank My, wife Kanwal, brothers Umar and Hassan and my sister Saba, your kind support and encouragement was always there with me when I needed the most. Without your help this accomplishment would have been a distant dream. My beloved mother, you are the one whom I love from the day when I opened my eyes to the day when they will be closed. Your prayers, your sacrifices and your love guided me through every thick and thin. Mama, I am thankful to you. My father, the person who was always there to fulfill my demands and prayed for me untiringly.

Shotgun sequencing at low genome coverage is a common approach for isolating high-copy DNA, such as the plastid or mitochondrial genomes, and ribosomal DNA. These sequence data, however, are also rich in repetitive elements that are often discarded. Such data include a variety of repeats present throughout the nuclear genome in high copy number. It has recently been shown that the abundance of repetitive elements has phylogenetic signal and can be used as a continuous character to infer tree topologies. In the present study, we evaluate repetitive DNA data in tomatoes (Solanum section Lycopersicon)to explore how they perform at the inter- and intraspecific levels, utilizing the available data from the 100 Tomato Genome Sequencing Consortium.

  • The Systematics and Genetics of Tomatoes on the Galápagos Islands (Solanum, Solanaceae)
    The systematics and genetics of tomatoes on the Galápagos Islands (Solanum, Solanaceae) By Sarah Catherine Darwin A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at University College London August 2009 Department of Genetics, Evolution and Environment University College London 1 Declaration I, Sarah Darwin confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Chapter 2 is a reprint from a paper on the taxonomy of the tomatoes of the Galápagos Islands published in Systematics and Biodiversity in 2003. This was a collaborative project, and the authors were Sarah Darwin, Sandra Knapp and Iris Peralta. I was the lead author as this was part of my thesis work, and I carried out most of the work towards the paper. Below I list the contributions of each author for Chapter 2. Morphological analysis I undertook the analysis of the herbarium specimens, with particular guidance from Sandy Knapp and Iris Peralta for the S. lycopersicum and S. pimpinellifolium collected from the mainland of South America. Morphometrics Morphological characters were selected by all of us based on my experience from fieldwork, Dr Peralta’s experience from greenhouse grown accessions and Dr Knapp’s experience from herbarium specimens. I undertook the measurement of the living plants and herbarium specimens with the assistance/guidance of Drs Peralta and Knapp Statistics I and Dr Peralta undertook the PCA, with advice from Drs Claudio Galmarini and Clive Moncrieff. Taxonomic treatment Dr Knapp and Dr Norman Robson wrote the Latin for the taxonomic treatment.
