More fine work out of Harry Klee's lab at the University of Florida. Much of his IC is available on-line at the following location, and is quite readable: http://hos.ufl.edu/kleeweb/index.html

A good video: http://www.aaas.org/news/researchers...lavor-tomatoes

Check out Garden Gem F1 while you are at the UofFl site: http://hos.ufl.edu/kleeweb/newcultivars.html A $10 (tax deductable) donation to Harry's lab gets you seeds of their newest cultivars.

As to 'Garden Gem' - well, that finally got me to eat tomatoes out of hand! The flavor, texture and size were fabulous; in fact, so good that we had them on salads every night until they finally stopped producing. My husband and I were hooked on GG, which is why I'd like another packet! New York State

Thank you for these lovely tomatoes. I don’t ever remember picking and eating tomatoes like yummy berries before in my life! They are both truly delicious fruits! Edmonton Alberta

My wife misses her daily Caprese breakfast now that edible tomatoes are no longer attainable. Two of our four boys have become fans of tomatoes. We are supporting your efforts once again to gain more seeds. Michigan

The flavor and texture are excellent and I am eating the last this week.. I plan to include both in the line up next year. Northern California

They both produced tons of the best tasting tomatoes I have ever eaten. NW Pennsylvania

When fully ripened, the tomatoes were red right through, tender and flavorful. I would definitely plant the Garden Gem again, if the seeds become more widely available. Oregon

I have been vegetable gardening for over 35 years and have never had a better tasting tomato. They were so plentiful I gave pounds away to my neighbors. Illinois
