Tanksley, Liberty Hyde Bailey Professor of Plant Breeding Cornell University and CEO/Chief Scientifi c Offi cer of Nature Source Genetics for his innovative research to identify and study genes responsible for the variation found in tomato and a variety of other crops. His work with tomato began with his graduate work at the University of California-Davis under the guidance of Dr. Charles M. Rick, plant geneticist and botanist. The work in his early career to develop molecular markers and a saturated linkage map for tomato served as a critical resource for his and other laboratories to ask the larger questions about tomatoes and in other plant species. In 1993, scientists in his lab successfully cloned the fi rst gene in tomato using a technique known as map-based cloning. His lab was also responsible for demonstrating that quantitatively inherited traits scattered across the genome can be dissected into Mendelian factors, called quantitative trait loci. This work has laid the ground work for understanding the inheritance of complex traits but opened up research avenues researchers in all areas of the life sciences. He was also involved in the international group responsible for sequencing the vi Genetics, Genomics and Breeding of Tomato tomato genome. He has been recognized for his numerous accomplishments including being elected to the National Academy of Sciences and receiving awards such as Alexander von Humboldt Foundation Award, Martin Gibbs Medal of the ASPP, Wolf Foundation Prize in Agriculture and the Kumho Award in Plant Molecular Biology and Technology. His enduring legacy will not be only the bounty of research he has published and directed, but also the undergraduate, graduate and post graduate students from around the world as well as collaborators from all fi elds that have benefi tted from his teaching, expertise, philosophy and passion for plants, particularly tomato. Preface to the Series Genetics, genomics and breeding has emerged as three overlapping and complimentary disciplines for comprehensive and fi ne-scale analysis of plant genomes and their precise and rapid improvement. While genetics and plant breeding have contributed enormously towards several new concepts and strategies for elucidation of plant genes and genomes as well as development of a huge number of crop varieties with desirable traits, genomics has depicted the chemical nature of genes, gene products and genomes and also provided additional resources for crop improvement. In today’s world, teaching, research, funding, regulation and utilization of plant genetics, genomics and breeding essentially require thorough understanding of their components including classical, biochemical, cytological and molecular genetics; and traditional, molecular, transgenic and genomics-assisted breeding. There are several book volumes and reviews available that cover individually or in combination of a few of these components for the major plants or plant groups; and also on the concepts and strategies for these individual components with examples drawn mainly from the major plants. Therefore, we planned to fi ll an existing gap with individual book volumes dedicated to the leading crop and model plants with comprehensive deliberations on all the classical, advanced and modern concepts of depiction and improvement of genomes. The success stories and limitations in the different plant species, crop or model, must vary; however, we have tried to include a more or less general outline of the contents of the chapters of the volumes to maintain uniformity as far as possible. Often genetics, genomics and plant breeding and particularly their complimentary and supplementary disciplines are studied and practiced by people who do not have, and reasonably so, the basic understanding of biology of the plants for which they are contributing. A general description of the plants and their botany would surely instill more interest among them on the plant species they are working for and therefore we presented lucid details on the economic and/or academic importance of the plant(s); historical information on geographical origin and distribution; botanical origin and evolution; available germplasms and gene pools, and genetic and cytogenetic stocks as genetic, genomic and breeding resources; and viii Genetics, Genomics and Breeding of Tomato basic information on taxonomy, habit, habitat, morphology, karyotype, ploidy level and genome size, etc. Classical genetics and traditional breeding have contributed enormously even by employing the phenotype-to-genotype approach. We included detailed descriptions on these classical efforts such as genetic mapping using morphological, cytological and isozyme markers; and achievements of conventional breeding for desirable and against undesirable traits. Employment of the in vitro culture techniques such as micro- and megaspore culture, and somatic mutation and hybridization, has also been enumerated. In addition, an assessment of the achievements and limitations of the basic genetics and conventional breeding efforts has been presented. It is a hard truth that in many instances we depend too much on a few advanced technologies, we are trained in, for creating and using novel or alien genes but forget the infi nite wealth of desirable genes in the indigenous cultivars and wild allied species besides the available germplasms in national and international institutes or centers. Exploring as broad as possible natural genetic diversity not only provides information on availability of target donor genes but also on genetically divergent genotypes, botanical varieties, subspecies, species and even genera to be used as potential parents in

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.

La LEP est la loi fédérale qui constitue l’une des pierres d’assise de l’effort national commun de protection et de conservation des espèces en péril au Canada. Elle est en vigueur depuis 2003 et vise, entre autres, à permettre le rétablissement des espèces qui, par suite de l'activité humaine, sont devenues des espèces disparues du pays, en voie de disparition ou menacées. Qu’est-ce que le rétablissement? Dans le contexte de la conservation des espèces en péril, le rétablissement est le processus par lequel le déclin d’une espèce en voie de disparition, menacée ou disparue du pays est arrêté ou inversé et par lequel les menaces à sa survie sont éliminées ou réduites de façon à augmenter la probabilité de persistance de l’espèce à l’état sauvage. Une espèce sera considérée comme rétablie lorsque sa persistance à long terme à l’état sauvage aura été assurée. Qu’est-ce qu’un programme de rétablissement? Un programme de rétablissement est un document de planification qui identifie ce qui doit être réalisé pour arrêter ou inverser le déclin d’une espèce. Il établit des buts et des objectifs et indique les principaux champs des activités à entreprendre. La planification plus élaborée se fait à l’étape du plan d’action.
