Line x tester analysis for combining ability, heterosis, and genetic parameters in tomato yield and fruit quality traits

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) yield in Ghana remains low ( ~7.5 t ha-1), far below the >40 t ha-1 potential of improved hybrids, due to limited adapted varieties, bacterial wilt, tomato yellow leaf curl virus, and poor shelf life under high ambient temperatures. The objective of this study was to evaluate the combin...
