Abstract Appropriate knowledge of the parental cultivars is a pre-requisite for a successful breeding program. This study
characterized fruit yield, quality attributes, and molecular variations of ten tomato cultivars during three consecutive generations under greenhouse conditions. Peto 86, Castle Rock, and Red Star cultivars showed the highest
fruit yield (kg/plant), total phenolic compounds (TPC), and sap acidity. Principal component analysis categorized
the evaluated fruit yield into three groups based on their quality attributes. A robust positive correlation appeared
among traits inside each group. A positive correlation was likewise noticed between the first and the second
groups. However, a negative correlation was… More >
