Giuliano

For we are skirting the base of Mount Eryx, now Monte Giuliano, whence Acestes the king came down to meet Aeneas when he landed on his return from Carthage; and where Aeneas—so they say—founded the town of Acesta, which afterwards became Egesta, and is now Segesta.

Scientists have made a genetic map of the tomato. Tomatoes are second only to potatoes as the world's most valuable vegetable crop. Eight years of work went into making the map, or genome. Three hundred scientists around the world took part in the project to sequence the tomato's DNA code. Giovanni Giuliano, a researcher in Italy, is part of the Tomato Genome Consortium.
