Combining Ability And Heterosis For Fruit Yield And Heat Tolerance In Tomato (Lycopersicon Lycopersicum Mill.) Under Field Conditions
📄 Project Abstract
Heat stress causes significant fruit yield loss in tomato (Lycopersicon lycopersicum Mill.). Breeding of tomato hybrids tolerant to high temperature will reduce fruit yield losses caused by heat stress in Nigeria. The genetics of heat tolerance in tomato was studied using half diallel mating design of six parents comprising two heat tolerant and four heat susceptible varieties. The resultant 15 hybrids, with the 6 parents and 4 checks were evaluated at two locations: Bagauda and Samaru under heat stress condition between July-October, 2014 rainy season. Data collected on agronomic, heat tolerance and physiological characters were used to determine heterosis, combining ability, heritability and correlations under field conditions. Analysis of variance indicated highly significant (P < 0.01) differences among the genotypes for most traits. Significant level of heterosis were observed in crosses Icrixina × Rio Grande, Icrixina × Roma Savana, Icrixina × Tima, Icrixina × Petomech and Petome...
