“…It is well known that the total sugar and organic acid concentrations are the most important characteristics of tomato taste (Dorais et al 2001). High sugar concentrations are required for the best taste (Kader 1986;Stevens 1986). Thus, the greater concentrations of glucose and fructose in the fruit juice under the PRD treatment entails an improvement of fruit taste.…”

Sun Y., Holm P.E., Liu F., 2014. Alternate partial root-zone drying irrigation improves fruit quality in tomatoes. Hort. Sci. (Prague),.Alternate partial root-zone drying (PRD) irrigation and deficit irrigation (DI) are water-saving irrigation strategies. Here, comparative effects of PRD and DI on fruit quality of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) were investigated. The results showed that the irrigation treatments had no effect on tomato yield but significantly affected several organic and mineral quality attributes of the fruits. Compared to DI, PRD significantly increased the fruit concentrations of Ca and Mg, and fruit juice concentrations of total soluble solid, glucose, fructose, citric and malic acid, P, K and Mg. It is concluded that PRD is better than DI in terms of improving fruit quality, and could be a promising management strategy for simultaneous increase of water use efficiency and fruit quality in tomatoes.

Abstract. In order to evaluate genetic variations of tomato genotypes, an experiment carried out in Kahriz station during two seasons in 2010-11. Experimental design was randomized complete blocks with three replications. Combined analysis of variance showed that for agronomic and quality related traits were significant differences. Selb-Jino, TO 2 , Early-Urbana, Carmina, Cal-J-N and Falat-Shof with more than 10.5 kg/m 2 had the highest fruit yield. With increasing fruit number per plant decreased fruit weight. Carmina had 170cm plant height and indeterminate growth. TO 4 , Chase, Selb-Jino and Carmina with more than 5.2% had the most total soluble solid. Cluster analysis classified genotypes in two groups. Flower inflorescence had the most significant regression coefficient (0.63) with fruit yield. Two first components explained 97% of total variations in principal components analysis. Correlation coefficients of fruit yield with fruit number at per plant (r=0.49 * ), number of flower per inflorescence (r=0.48 * ) were positive significant differences. With delaying fruit maturity decreased fruit number (r=-0.78**), increased fruit weight (r=0.80**) and pH (r=0.71**). Therefore, genotypes with more fruits had low pH (r=-0.75**). From the point of fruit shape Carmina, Nina, Selb-Jno and BSS282 were quite uniform. TO 4 and TO 2 had the most fruit color and Carmia, Falat-CH, Super-Srin-B, Shof, Falat-Y and Seb-Jino were the lowest values. Fruit firmness of cultivars was in four groups. Blossom-end rot in BSS282, Tima and TO 4 were less than others.

SummaryTomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is one of the most popular vegetable grown in many regions of the world. Due to its high taste quality and nutritional value increase interest in the cultivation of this species and its consumption. Using the latest achievements in fields of genetics, molecular biology and biotechnology, breeders can create new varieties with improved useful traits. Introduction of DNA markers, especially those based on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has led to breakthrough in the plants genetic research, including tomato. They are successfully used for plant genomes mapping, phylogenetics studies, selection of parental forms in plant breeding, and above all to identify the genes of important traits. For tomato have been identified and mapped 9309 molecular markers. High-density genetic maps development gives an opportunity to use them in genetic research and breeding programs. Identification of DNA markers closely linked to studied gene can significantly facilitate the identification of desirable traits in material breeding, or accelerate the plants selection for elimination of genotypes with undesirable genes. Material breeding selection using molecular markers, defined as MAS (marker-assisted-selection) is increasingly being used in tomato breeding programs, contributing to facilitated identification of genes or QTL and their transfer into the cultivated species from wild form.
