High Lycopene Tomato Breeding Through Diallel Crossing

Abstract

Tomatoes are known as one of the natural source of antioxidant, which is a compound that can inhibit and reduce oxidative cell and biomolecule damages, such as lipid, protein, and DNA. Health benefits from lycopene made this compound a tomato breeding subject for increasing its nutrient content. Tomato breeding is an environment friendly and sustainable method in agriculture biofortification methods, hence making the efforts for increasing tomato lycopene content to be possible. The aim of this research was to produce tomato hybrid with high lycopene and yield. This research was conducted in Experimental Farm, Faculty of Agriculture, Hasanuddin Univerisy, Makassar throughout June-Septermber 2020. This research was done in full diallel analysis using Griffing 1 method. Hybrid characters are highly determined with the presence of maternal effect. Lycopene has no correlation with productionCharacters correlated with lycopene are plant height, number of leaves, number of fruits per bunch, fruit length and fruit diameter, whilst productivity is correlated with number of leaves, stem diameter, and fruit diameter. Hybrids that can be used in further selection are CM, MC, MBC and KBC

Preventive Effect of Lycopene in Dextran Sulfate Sodium-Induced Ulcerative Colitis Mice through the Regulation of TLR4/TRIF/NF-κB Signaling Pathway and Tight Junctions

“…Lycopene (LP) is widely found in tomatoes and tomato products and is the main pigment in ripe tomatoes and one of the common carotenoids. 15 LP has a long-chain polyunsaturated olefin molecular structure, so it has an excellent ability to eliminate free radicals and has an excellent antioxidant capacity. 16 At present, studies on LP mainly focus on its antioxidant activity and its ability to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, reduce genetic damage, and inhibit the development of tumors.…”

“…In addition, tomatoes can be processed into tomato sauce or juice or be canned. Lycopene (LP) is widely found in tomatoes and tomato products and is the main pigment in ripe tomatoes and one of the common carotenoids . LP has a long-chain polyunsaturated olefin molecular structure, so it has an excellent ability to eliminate free radicals and has an excellent antioxidant capacity .…”

Genetic Parameters and Selection Index of High-Yielding Tomato F2 Populations

“…Based on the parental genotypes, the cultivar Mawar showed good potential in forming the F 2 base populations. Furthermore, Bdr et al (2020) and Farid et al (2022) reported that the cultivar Mawar was the best parent in forming the hybrids. Therefore, these 75 lines can continue as families in the F 3 generation, especially the families generated from cultivar Mawar as one of the parents.…”

Genetic Behavior of Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) Germplasm Governing Heavy Metal Tolerance and Yield Traits under Wastewater Irrigation

“…In contrast, yield-related traits were mainly determined by additive genetic effects [ 53 ]. Maternal effects were observed for the inheritance of the number of flowers and number of fruits in tomatoes [ 54 ].…”
