Genomics-assisted Improvement of Resistance to Insect Pests, Diseases and Nematodes in Tomato: A Critical Appraisal of Discovery, Durability and Deployment

Whether, and where, genomic technologies have altered breeding outcomes rather than merely accelerating gene discovery is examined, and the available evidence indicates that genomic resources have substantially improved the resolution of resistance discovery and the precision of marker-assisted introgression, but have not yet demonstrably improved durability.
