More about the book

The study investigates the impact of heat stress on tomato plants, specifically Solanum lycopersicum and Solanum pennellii introgression lines, focusing on traits related to fruit set and pollen characteristics. It highlights how environmental challenges, particularly in tropical and subtropical climates, affect crop yields. The research combines phenotypic data from a segregating population with molecular marker analyses. Additionally, it evaluates various cooling methods aimed at improving greenhouse designs for tomato production under heat stress conditions as part of the 'Protected Cultivation Project.'
