Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is one of the most important horticultural crops worldwide, with yield and fruit quality strongly constrained by biotic stresses, particularly tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV). Hybrid breeding through the exploitation of heterosis is a highly effective approach for improving yield, fruit quality, and TYLCV resistance. To investigate the genetic basis of heterosis...
