Discussion

Analysis identifies key traits for improving tomato yield in a segregating F2 population, suggesting implications for breeding strategies.

Significant genetic variability exists for yield traits in the F2 tomato population, promoting selection feasibility.
Fruit yield per plant, number of fruits per plant, and individual fruit weight were key traits with high heritability estimates.
The study utilized an F2 population derived from Arka Vikas and EC 519809, revealing important trait correlations.
Selecting traits like number of fruits per plant can enhance yield, guiding the development of superior tomato varieties.

Gopinath et al. (2017) studied this question.
