Solanum chilense is a plant species from the "tomato" subgenus Lycopersicon within the nightshade genus Solanum . Description. Solanum chilense is a robust, perennial, herbaceous plant that at first grows erect, later lying. It reaches up to 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) high; its foliage reaches a similar diameter. It is found on rocky sites.
Introduction: Solanum chilense is a wild relative of tomato reported to exhibit resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. There is potential to improve tomato cultivars via breeding with wild relatives, a process greatly accelerated by suitable genomic and genetic resources.
The four genes Ty-1, Ty-3, Ty-4, and Ty-6 have originated from the same source Solanum chilense, whereas Ty-2 and ty-5 have originated from Solanum habrochaites and Solanum peruvianum, respectively. All these genes were also located on different chromosomes and have been identified to be linked by various markers.
Mar 30, 2021 · Solanum chilense (Dunal) Reiche plants are herbaceous perennials with a woody base, erect or decumbent growth, 0.5 to 1.5 m tall and 1 m wide when found isolated along cliff- and roadsides, but commonly spreading to 2 to 4 m (or more) inside deep Andean volcanic canyons carved by snowmelt and sparse rain.

Genome: Solanum chilense. Solanum chilense is a wild tomato from southern Peru and northern Chile. It is distantly related to the domesticated Solanum lycopersium and a sister species of Solanum peruvianum. It was sequenced by a group of scientists at the Helmholtz Centre in Munich and the Technical University of Munich.
Here, we apply the classic biosystematic approaches to interro-gate the taxonomic status of an obligately outcrossing wild tomato species, Solanum chilense, and compare the results to similar studies in the related members of Solanum sect. Lycopersicon.
