Abstract excerpt
A BC1 population (N = 1000) of an F1 hybrid between a stress-sensitive Lycopersicon esculentum breeding line (NC84173; maternal and recurrent parent) and a germination stress-tolerant Lycopersicon pimpinellifolium accession (LA722) was evaluated for seed germination rate under drought stress (DS) (14% w/v polyethyleneglycol-8000, water potential approximately -680 kPa), and the most rapidly germinating seeds...
