2025 Tomato Hybrid Project

A special project entitled “High-Performance WorldVeg Tomato F1 Hybrids and Breeding Lines to Accelerate Variety Release” is launched under the APSA-WorldVeg Vegetable Breeding Consortium with the following objectives:
  1. Rapid Access to Advanced Hybrids: Provide partner companies with ready-to-use F1 hybrids that combine key traits such as yield, fruit quality, heat tolerance, and disease resistance.
  2. Direct Access to Parental and Elite Lines: Facilitate the adoption of elite parental lines containing advantageous genetic combinations for targeted market traits and resistances.
  3. Delivery of Segregation F2 Populations: Establish F2 populations as genetic reservoirs for partner companies, enabling the creation of innovative and adaptive breeding programs.

Interested companies can get seeds of selected hybrids of their choice for testing at their locations, and obtain information and seeds of the parental lines of the selected hybrids. Seeds of F2 population from each selected hybrid is also available upon request. It is important to note that some of the hybrids share a parent, which means that the same line may have been used as a parent for more than one hybrid.
