Breaking breeding barriers in Lycopersicon. 1. The genus Lycopersicon, its breeding barriers and the importance of breaking these barriers

  • Published:
Euphytica Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A brief survey is given of the genus Lycopersicon and of the breeding barriers within this genus. The importance of breaking these barriers is discussed in connection with the lack of knowledge of breeding barriers in general and the meagre exploitation of wild species of Lycopersicon in tomato breeding.
