Translational Genomics - Morning van Deynze, Allen [1], De Jong, Walter [2], Douches, David [3], Francis, David [4]. Translational Genomics Workshop. TRANSLATIONAL genomics is the adaptation of information derived from genome technologies for crop improvement. Solanaceaceous crops have rich resources in genomics and genetics including the species specific and comparative genetic maps, mutant populations, deep EST and BAC libraries, as well as the beginning of genome sequence for the potato and tomato. These resources have been used to identify and characterize the function of genes and QTL. Despite these efforts, very few of these resources are accesible to plant breeders. This is largely due to the fact that wide crosses and relatives have been used for much of this work. The focus and goal of this workshop is to review the tools and resources that are currently being developed to make genomics resources accessible to breeders and identify what assets in Solanaceae must be developed to take full advantage of genomics for breeding.
