Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is one of the most important vegetable crops under
solanaceous group which can be grown both under open field conditions and greenhouses …

High humidity is a major constraint to increased tomato fruit production in a cool tropical
monsoon climate. However, the genetic variation observed in Solanum pimpinellifolium …

A study was conducted in a 6× 6 full diallel cross set of tomato including reciprocals to
estimate the general combining ability, speciŞc combining ability and heterosis for yield per …

SUMMARY A study was conducted to determine the types of gene action of different yield-
related traits in tomato and the combining ability in four advanced lines. The heterotic …

Twenty eight hybrids of tomato developed using eight parents (PusaRohini, PusaGaurav,
Roma, Cherry Orange, Selection-1, Taiwan, N-5 and C-10-15-27-3) in half diallelfashion …

Greenhouse vegetable cultivation offers one of the optimistic approaches to ensuring

The productivity of chili pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) can be increased by the use of hybrid
cultivars. Promising hybrid cultivars can be obtained by maximizing the combining ability …

Heterosis for yield components and yield per plant was studied using 7x7 half diallel cross
between bacterial wilt-resistant/tolerant genotypes and high-yielding varieties. The heterosis …

Plant breeders have extensively explored and utilized heterosis to boost yield levels in
several cross-pollinated crops in the recent past. However, tomato being a highly …
