Cytogenetics of the Tomato

Publisher Summary

Studies on the genetics of the tomato have been stimulated recently by the organization of the Tomato Genetics Cooperative, which, like the older and exemplary groups in maize, drosophila, and other organisms, serves to coordinate and facilitate the activities of many workers by offering a medium of exchange of stocks and information and proposing standard procedures wherever advisable. This review is concerned with the genetics and cytology of the tomato, lycopersicon esculentum, a widely cultivated annual species of the Solanaceae. Studies of other species of lycopersicon are also included insofar as they deal directly with lycopersicon esculentum.
