The Tomato Genetics Cooperative is a group of over 100 researchers from 21 countries around the globe who share an interest in tomato genetics and have organized informally for the purpose of exchanging information, germplasm, and genetic stocks. Members are encouraged to submit reports 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, and tissue culture. Submission of articles involving other Solanaceous species that may be relevant is also encouraged and includes those involving comparison maps, orthologous genes, and etc. See the Submissions page for details.
In addition to the member reports, the annual Report of the Tomato Genetics Cooperative includes announcements and updates of linkage maps and available materials. TGC membership entitles you to a printed copy of the most current Report (which is not available any other way) and the opportunity to publish (often even work-in-process) in the Report at no additional cost. See the Membership page for details.
A majority of the 57 volumes are available online in one or more formats. All volumes are now available in a newer version of Adobe Acrobat and are text-searchable, but not via any search engine that we can provide at this time. (You would have to open and search individual volumes (one at a time) using Acrobat Reader on your own computer.) The remaining online volumes are in HTML and have been indexed so they are now included in search results when using the Google search engine.
