Abstract:The development of crop varieties capable of maintaining satisfactory yields under stressful conditions such as drought is an important step towards ensuring adequate food production in the future. In this context, natural genetic variation in tomato can be allied with modern techniques such as the production of introgression lines, as well as mutant and transgenic organisms in the search for varieties more resistant to water deficit. Here, we show that S. pennellii introgression lines IL2-5, IL4-3, and IL2-5/… Show more
