Establishment of the HeatResistant Selection Index and Breeding of Tomato
In response to climate change, this project is expected to establish an appearance evaluation index for tomatoes. This year, we established two methods for evaluating the heat resistance of tomato seedling by cell membrane thermal stability and chlorophyll content. And we will use the method to evaluate the tomato lines of breeding. Besides, we used a tomato strain with good heat resistance as the female parent to conduct trial crosses, and finally completed a total of 6 hybrid combinations in this year.
