Co‐Selection of Low Cadmium Accumulation and High Yield During Tomato Improvement
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study finds that large‐fruited tomatoes accumulate less cadmium (Cd) compared to wild tomatoes and cherry tomatoes. This is because, during the improvement process of tomato, the low‐Cd allele LCT1A and the large fruit allele fw3.2T are closely linked, leading to a co‐selection event.
