Abstract
The present investigation was undertaken on tomato (Solanum
lycopersicum L.) in order to estimate combining ability, heterosis and genetic
variability through molecular markers using diallel mating design. The resulting 45
hybrids along with 10 parents and one check were grown in a randomized complete
block design with three replications at Main Vegetables Research Station, Anand
Agricultural University, Anand during kharif-rabi 2019. The main objective of the
experiment was to study the per se performance, combining ability effects, magnitude
of heterobeltiosis and standard heterosis and gene effects of parents and F1’s for fruit
yield and its component characters including quality traits.
