Studies on mode of gene action for fruit quality characteristics governing shelf life in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)

M. P. Pavan et al.

Summary: The study revealed that shelf life and its contributing traits in tomatoes are primarily controlled by dominant genes with duplicate epistasis. Simple selection procedures in the early segregating generation are ineffective in improving genetic gain, as dominance and dominance x dominance gene effects are non-fixable. Exploiting both additive and dominance components in the advanced segregating population can lead to dissipation of dominance and enhance the frequency of genes with increasing effects on the expression of fruit quality traits governing shelf life.

Extending Shelf Life and Maintaining Quality of Tomato Fruit by Calcium Chloride, Hydrogen Peroxide, Chitosan, and Ozonated Water

Said A. Shehata et al.

Summary: Calcium chloride, chitosan, hydrogen peroxide, and ozonated water were studied for their effects on the storage ability and quality of tomato fruit, with chitosan and calcium chloride identified as the most effective treatments. The study also found that ascorbic acid and total carotenoids play a vital role in maintaining tomato fruit quality during storage.
