Determination of Some Pomological, Chemical And Strength Parameters of The Wild Tomato (Solanum peruvianum and Solanum huaylasense) Genotypes To Be Used In Breeding Programs
Onder Kabas
Abstract
In this study, pomological, chemical and strength parameters of three different wild tomato genotypes were determined and their potential use in further breeding programs was investigated. Experiments were conducted with wild tomato species of Solanum peruvianum (LA2744, LA0462) and S. huaylasense (LA1982) in randomized blocks design with two replicates. Tomato plants were grown in a greenhouse and their linear dimensions, physico-chemical properties and strength parameters were determined. Statistical analyses revealed that genotypes had significant effects on pomological and chemical properties. For strength parameters, genotypes did not have significant effects on firmness and poison ratio, but had significant effects on the other strength parameters at 1% level. It was concluded based on present findings that LA1982 was prominent for pomological properties, chemical and strength parameters and thus was considered as a significant gen source for further breeding programs.
