Solanum lycopersicum x Solanum pimpinellifolium rootstock

Solanum lycopersicum x Solanum pimpinellifolium

Interspecific hybrids of S. lycopersicum x S. pimpinellifolium are used as tomato rootstocks to optimize root system architecture and increase yield.

In the reference 14 varieties crop Tomato, where this is mentioned in the description.

The use of S. lycopersicum x S. pimpinellifolium hybrids as rootstocks contributes to increased root system parameters, including total root length, surface area, and dry mass. These changes in root architecture are directly correlated with improved yield components of grafted tomatoes.

In addition to their impact on productivity, these rootstocks are used to increase the adaptability of cultivars to abiotic stress factors. In breeding, this interspecific hybrid also serves as a significant genetic resource containing donor genes for overcoming soil-borne pathogens and unfavorable growing conditions.
