Abstract: Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and potato ( Solanum tuberosum) are important crops of the botanical family Solanaceae. They are being sequenced by two international genome sequencing projects respectively, the international Solanaceae Genome Project (SOL) and the Potato Genome The international Solanaceae Genome Project(SOL) aims to obtain the sequence of complete 220 Mb euchromatin portion of tomato genome, expecting that portion containing the majority of genes, while PGSC aims at generating a draft sequence of the 840 Mb of potato genome. China participates both of the tomato and potato genome projects taking responsibility of Chromosome III, XI of tomato and Chromosome X, XI of potato. Based on the discovery of highly degree of similarity of tomato and potato genomes, comparative sequencing plays an important role when we work on the chromosome XI of tomato and potato simultaneously.

Key words: Tomato, potato, genome sequencing, comparative genomics
