Abstract

Pollen selection at low T for sporophyte vigour at low T could be valuable for accelerating breeding programs aimed at the development of new tomato cvs which grow and produce well under low temperature and low light intensity in the glasshouse in winter. Zamir et al. (1981) reported T-dependent selective fertilization in L. esculentum pollinated with a mixture of pollen from L. esculentum and low T tolerant L. hirsutum. Several genes of L. hirsutum were preferentially present in the L. esculentum x ( L. esculentum x L. hirsutum) backcross progeny produced after pollination at low T (Zamir et al., 1982).
