Mapping, identification of molecular markers associated with heat tolerance QTLs in tomato
December 27, 2017
| Ongoing project
| Sustainable Agriculture
Tomato is one of the most significant vegetable crops grown worldwide. However, important traits such as pollen meiosis, germination, ovule development, viability and development of the embryo and fruit set of most tomato cultivars are adversely affected under temperatures higher than 35°C. This leads to non-availability in certain months.
