Foreword
The Tomato Genetics Cooperative, initiated in 1951, is a group of researchers who share an
interest in tomato genetics, and who have organized informally for the purpose of exchanging
information, germplasm, and genetic stocks. The Report of the Tomato Genetics Cooperative is
published annually and contains reports of work in progress by members, announcements and
updates on linkage maps and materials available. The research reports include work on diverse
topics such as new traits or mutants isolated, new cultivars or germplasm developed, interspecific
transfer of traits, studies of gene function or control or tissue culture. Relevant work on other
Solanaceous species is encouraged as well.
