Abstract

Tomato with hermaphrodite flowers is highly self- fertilized and produces seeded fruit. However fruit set and fruit growth under unfavorable environments e.g. high and low temperatures are important problems. In this paper studies are reported on genetic parthenocarpy which offers an alternative method of dealing with the problem of poor fruit set.

Partenokarpi ve Domates Islahındaki Yeri

Abstract

Erselik çiçek yapısına sahip olan domates genellikle kendine döllenir ve tohumlu meyve meydana getirir. Ancak uygun olmayan çevresel şartlarda örneğin yüksek ve düşük sıcaklıklarda meyve tutumu ve meyve gelişiminde önemli sorunlar bulunmaktadır. Bu makalede uygun olmayan çevresel koşullarda meyve tutumu ile ilgili problemlere alternetif bir çözüm sunan genetik partenokarpi konusunda yapılmış çalışmalar özetlenmiştir.

Keywords
