A tomato telomere-to-telomere super-pangenome empowers stress resilience breeding.
Article in Nature genetics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), one of the world's most valuable vegetable crops, has suffered from diminished genetic diversity and stress resistance. Wild tomatoes serve as an invaluable genetic reservoir, yet their potential for stress resilience remains largely unexploited in tomato breeding. Here we report a genus-wide super-pangenome across 16 tomato species by integrating 20 telomere-to-telomere genomes and 27 published chromosome-scale genomes. Genus-wide population analysis demonstrates broad genetic diversity with limited gene flows among principal clades. Pan-centromere analysis reveals a diverse landscape and dynamic evolution of the mysterious tomato centromeres involving rapid diversification, satellite emergence and repositioning. A comprehensive catalog of structural variants uncovers extensive rearrangements, especially from wild tomatoes, and discovers key molecular markers associated with salinity resistance. Structural-variant-based genome-wide association studies identified a leucine-rich repeat receptor gene SlGMAK conferring gray mold resistance. Our telomere-to-telomere super-pangenome will accelerate exploiting the untapped potential of wild relatives to improve modern tomatoes for stress resilience.
