Productivity — Tomato (Interspecific Hybrids)

hybrids between Solanum lycopersicum L. and S. habrochaites S. Knapp & D.M. Spooner

The productivity of hybrids is characterized by the balance between the transfer of resistance genes from the wild species S. habrochaites and the preservation of the commercial quality of the cultivated tomato fruits. Assessment includes mass, fruit count, biomass, and the hybrid's ability to incr…

In the reference 30 varieties crop hybrids between Solanum lycopersicum L. and S. habrochaites S. Knapp & D.M. Spooner, where this is mentioned in the description.

For interspecific hybrids, productivity is viewed through the lens of overcoming the 'linkage drag' effect, where genes for biotic and abiotic resistance from the wild parent S. habrochaites negatively affect fruit size and weight. A compensatory effect often leads to vigorous vegetative or root system development at the expense of reproductive productivity.

The evaluation methodology includes measuring marketable yield, the number of fruits per cluster, and average fruit weight, as well as calculating true heterosis compared to the best parental line. Hybrids are considered successful if they combine enhanced stress resistance with marketable yields comparable to or exceeding those of commercial varieties, which is particularly critical when using hybrid forms as rootstocks.
