Research: 100%
Breeding and development of tomato lines
and varieties with broad adaptation, resistance
to major diseases, high yield and fruit quality
for fresh market by using conventional and molecular
approaches. Investigation of genetic control and
inheritance of important traits to facilitate the
selection process.
