ABSTRACT:
A new tomato cultivar is provided which is homozygous for a genetically fixable recessive genetic factor which confers the ability to bear fruit that accumulate sucrose. The increased sucrose content, in turn, leads to a higher total soluble solids content in the mature fruit. Higher total soluble solids in tomato fruit are of particular importance to the tomato processing industry. A method for producing the claimed cultivar is also provided.
The claimed genetic factor can be derived from any Lycopersicon species which accumulates sucrose in the mature fruit. Once genetically fixed in a tomato cultivar, the factor can be transmitted to other plants in a predictable manner.
