Horticulture Highlights - Summer 2004
- Tomato breeding. The tomato breeding
program run by Randy Gardner helps growers
sustain and increase production and profitability through
improved cultivars. Consumers benefit from improvements
in fruit quality and diversity in types of fresh-market
tomatoes. Disease resistance genes incorporated into cultivated
types from wild germplasm will benefit tomato production
and cultivar development worldwide. For tomato breeding,
