Brachytic Gene Markers to Reduce Harvesting Costs of Fresh-market Tomato Plant Production
Reduces Stem Length in Tomato Vines to Make Mechanical Harvesting More Efficient
These genetic markers can be used in tomato breeding to generate varieties of fresh-market tomatoes with compact growth characteristics necessary to enable mechanical harvesting to decrease harvesting costs. In the U.S., fresh-market and processing tomatoes are the two...
