This book was released on 2013-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tomato [(Solanum lycopersicum Mill.) Wetted] is one of the most important vegetable crops grown in India. However, modern cultivars of tomato have a limited genetic diversity further the demand for high yielding disease resistant hybrids is alarming. In this study an effort was made to increase genetic variability for development of ToLCV resistant high yielding varieties and hybrids by utilizing exotic tomato breeding lines. Diversity analysis of 19 exotic tomato breeding lines and popular varieties viz., Pusa Ruby (P20), Vaibhav (P21) and Arka-Vikas (P22) was made with the D2 analysis, PCA, RAPD and SRAP markers, which revealed that exotic lines are diverse from popular varieties. Nineteen exotic tomato breeding lines and cultivars viz., P20, P21 and P22 were crossed in line x tester design to assess the combining ability and heterosis. A perusal of the results indicated that P21 x PT4227A, P22 x CLN2123E, P21 x CLN2768A, P21 x CLN2777F, P21 x CLN2400B, P22 x CLN2460E, P22 x CLN2777B, P20 x CLN2498E and P20 x CLN2777F showed significant heterosis over the best check hybrid. Further these hybrids could be used to develop mapping population and breeding for hybrid development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The esculent Lycopersicon esculentum, long thought to be poisonous, has become a major U. S. food crop and source of vitamins and minerals, thanks largely to genetic modification and new production technology Rick (1978) Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. ) is one of the most important solana ceous vegetable crops grown worldwide under outdoor and indoor conditions. It has become an important commercial crop so far as the area, production, industrial values and its contribution to human nutrition is concerned. During the past few decades tremendous developments have contributed to the knowledge and understanding of various areas of genetics, breeding and biotechnology and voluminous literature has been generated. The purpose of preparing this monograph is to give a comprehensive up-to-date treatment to the various aspects of genetic improvement of tomato. The emphasis has been placed on cytology, classical and molecular genetics, reproductive biology, germplasm resources, hybrid seed production, use of wild taxa, selection/ breeding methods, breeding for abiotic and biotic stresses, processing and quality breeding, improvement for mechanical harvesting, and biotechnology: tissue culture, protoplast fusion, and genetic transformation. These topics are presented in 22 different chapters. However, a few aspects have been discussed in more than one chapter. For example, seed production is treated in chapters 1, 4 and 8; molecular biology/genetic engineering in chapters 3 and 22 and heterosis in chapters 8 and 16.
Book Synopsis Evaluation of Penn State Tomato Varieties for Fruit Quality and Commercial Production by : Jonathan Bonfiglio
Download or read book Evaluation of Penn State Tomato Varieties for Fruit Quality and Commercial Production written by Jonathan Bonfiglio and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pennsylvania State Universitys Tomato Breeding Program has reached a point in its development when it is trialing elite experimental hybrids throughout the state, country, and internationally. The purpose of this thesis project was to evaluate select number of Penn State fresh-market (FM) tomato hybrids (varieties) for fruit quality and other desirable characteristics, and compare them with a few commercial cultivars (varieties) of tomato commonly grown in Pennsylvania (PA). In 2017, preliminary yield and fruit quality trials were conducted at two locations in PA, using a large number of Penn State tomato hybrids with early blight (EB) resistance and other desirable characteristics. In 2018, the number of FM large tomato hybrids was reduced to elite ones, and new late blight (LB) resistant hybrids were included and evaluated. In 2019, a total of 12 elite Penn State FM hybrids and three popular commercial cultivars were visually evaluated in multi-location trials (MLTs). Four farmers in different locations in PA cooperated in visual evaluation of 15 hybrids, trialed in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) in each location. Traits for plant and fruit quality characteristics, including yield, disease resistance, maturity, fruit size and color, were scored and hybrids ranked. Various statistical analyses were conducted, including analysis of genotype main effects and mixed models for genotype (G), environment (E) (location), and G x E interactions. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and pairwise multiple comparisons were performed for each of the genotypes and locations, to determine differences in performance among the 15 varieties within each location and differences in performance of each variety across multiple locations. The same 15 varieties were also field-evaluated and harvested from one site at the Penn State Russell E. Larson Agricultural Research Center, Pennsylvania Furnace (Rock Springs), PA, and additionally analyzed for pH, soluble solids content (SSC), % acidity, and fruit lycopene content (using spectrophotometry and image-based analysis). In 2017, yield potential was determined for all hybrids, including Penn State top hybrids G49, G118, and G126, which produced estimated marketable yield of 51.0, 53.0, and 50.3 tonnes/ha, respectively. Across all hybrids trialed, the average marketable yield was 37.9 tonnes/ha. The top hybrids G118 and G126 also produced the largest fruit, with an average fruit weight of 0.67 and 0.64 lb/fruit, respectively, whereas G49 produced a larger number of fruit with an average weight of 0.54 lb/fruit. In 2019 MLTs, six PSU hybrids (G4, G49, G126, L37, L39, and L40) performed significantly better than all of the commercial cultivars based on the overall score; and G49 performed significantly better than each of Mt. Merit (MM) and Mt. Fresh + (MF) for yield score. For fruit firmness, all PSU hybrids but G83 performed significantly better than MM and MF; the commercial cv. Red Deuce (RD) performed as good as PSU hybrids for firmness. All PSU hybrids performed significantly better than commercial cultivars for internal fruit color with the exception of G118, which was not significantly different from RD. All PSU hybrids performed significantly better than MM and MF for external fruit color; and, three hybrids (G49, L37, L39) performed significantly better than RD. There were other variations and differences among Penn State and commercial varieties for other traits, as described in Chapter 3 of this thesis. Penn State G49 had the highest fruit lycopene estimate by whole fruit colorimeter measurements, 59.44 ug/g-1 fruit weight, and was significantly higher than estimates for G4, G9, G73, G81, G40, RD, MF, and MM. Overall, several PSU experimental hybrids show great potential for commercialization, including G4, G49, G118 and G126, based on overall scores, yield scores, and stability in farm locations.

This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experience shows that biotic stresses occur with different levels of intensity in nearly all agricultural areas around the world. The occurrence of insects, weeds and diseases caused by fungi, bacteria or viruses may not be relevant in a specific year but they usually harm yield in most years. Global warming has shifted the paradigm of biotic stresses in most growing areas, especially in the tropical countries, sparking intense discussions in scientific forums. This book was written with the idea of collecting in a single publication the most recent advances and discoveries concerning breeding for biotic stresses, covering all major classes of biotic challenges to agriculture and food production. Accordingly, it presents the state-of-the-art in plant stresses caused by all microorganisms, weeds and insects and how to breed for them. Complementing Plant Breeding for Abiotic Stress Tolerance, this book was written for scientists and students interested in learning how to breed for biotic stress scenarios, allowing them to develop a greater understanding of the basic mechanisms of resistance to biotic stresses and develop resistant cultivars.

Download or read book The Tomato Crop written by J. Atherton and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 668 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tomato is commercially important throughout the world both for the fresh fruit market and the processed food industries. It is grown in a wide range of climates in the field, under protection in plastic greenhouses and in heated glasshouses. Genetic, physiological and pathological investigations frequently adopt the tomato plant as a convenient subject. Hitherto, much of the information on tomatoes has been fragmented: tomatoes grown in the field and under protection have been considered separately and the more fundamental findings from research have often failed to reach those involved directly or indirectly in commercial crop production. Similarly, the research scientist is often unaware of the problems of commercial crop production and the possible relevance of his work to the crop. This book is an attempt to rectify that situation. By giving a thorough scientific review of all factors influencing tomato production systems, it is hoped that this book will prove useful to students, researchers and commercial producers alike. It gives the basis for the develop ment of improved cultivars, the formulation of strategies for managing pest, disease and disorder problems and the production of high yields of good quality fruit as well as suggesting important areas for scientific initiatives. The extensive bibliographies provide a comprehensive database for tomato researchers. Such a vast subject could not be covered with authority by anyone author.
