IDENTIFICATION OF BETTER PARENTS FOR QUALITY AND YIELD ATTRIBUTING TRAITS IN TOMATO USING LINE × TESTER ANALYSIS
Keywords:
Tomato, GCA, SCA, HeterosisAbstract
The production of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is hampered by postharvest losses, a major issue. Various methods have been employed to increase tomatoes' quality, yield, and shelf life, and ripening mutants is one of them. In 2019, an investigation was conducted at the Experimental Farm of the Vegetable Research Institute, Faisalabad, to explore tomatoes' combining ability and heterosis through a line x tester cross. This research aimed to create nine hybrids by crossing commercially grown tomato varieties (Nagina, Lyp. No. 1, and H-24) with ripening tomato mutants (88512, Titano, and Pakit) using the Line × Tester mating design. When stored one of the hybrids (88512 x H-24) showed an extended shelf life of up to 40 days. Analysis of variance indicated that non-additive gene action was predominant in all traits, with significant differences between parents and hybrids in terms of GCA and SCA effects. ‘88512’ and ‘H-24’ were the best general combiners for fruit-keeping quality, and they may be used as donors in breeding programs. The cross between ‘88512’ and ‘H-24’ was identified as a valuable combiner for improving postharvest shelf life in tomato breeding programs. The crosses ‘88512 × H-24’ and ‘Pakit × H-24’ exhibited the highest heterotic effects for fruit-keeping quality and yield per plant, respectively. The mean values of genetic parameters in parents and F1 showed that the cross between ‘H-24’ and the ripening mutant ‘88512’ resulted in high shelf life and good fruit quality.
