STUDIES ON THE GENETIC PATHWAY AND SELECTION RESPONSE FOR INCREASED FRUIT SIZE AND YIELD IN TOMATO (SOLANUM SPECIES) USING A MODIFIED THREE-WAY CROSS
ABSTRACT Modified three-way crosses involving advanced interspecific tomato hybrids (W x R), (R x W) and (W x T) at F12 generation and commercially cultivated tomato varieties namely Supersteak (S), Beef (Florida) (BF) and Plumb (Rio grande) (PR) were made to generate F1 hybrids. The F1 hybrids were crossed to both the pollen and seed parents to produce the backcrosses and were also allowed to random mate to produce the ...
