| Abstract:
Variation between tomato genotypes in cadmium and lead accumulation sufficient for successful breeding for lowering the pollutant content was established. Negative overdominance was revealed as a general type of pollutant accumulation inheritance. Heterosis breeding is proposed as a method for developing high-yielding tomato hybrids for open ground with the minimum accumulation of cadmium and lead in fruits. | |
