From Genetic Diversity to Genetic Gain: Molecular Approaches and Breeding Strategies in Tomato with Insights from Lithuanian Germplasm.

Abstract excerpt

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is a globally important vegetable crop and a major dietary source of bioactive compounds, including lycopene, ascorbic acid, phenolics, and minerals. Modern tomato breeding has substantially improved yield, uniformity, and postharvest performance; however, these gains have often been accompanied by reduced flavor quality, lower nutritional value, and narrowing of the genetic base....
