Hark! A fruitful new study documents the evolution of the luscious tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) from the inside out. A collaboration among three leading-edge research institutions delivers imagery and a deeper dive into tomato genetics than your average tomato lover can genuinely absorb, but it sure is fascinating stuff. You will never have appreciated more the marvel that is the tomato than when you read and see images of its very essence. I discovered this study while browsing on the National Science Foundation’s website.
