Abstract

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is an important
protective food containing abundant balanced nutrients
like vitamins A, B C, minerals, dietary fibres and lycopene.
Only 5% of the total genetic variability is contributed by
S. lycopersicum to the tomato gene pool (Miller and
Tanksley 1990). S. pimpinellifolium, a closely related
species of S. lycopersicum is the only red fruited wild
species from which natural introgression into cultivated
tomato has been detected (Rick 1982).
