Morphological variation in vegetative and fruit traits is a key determinant unraveling phenotypic diversity. This study was designed to assess diversity tomatoes examine intra- intervarietal groups' variability using 28 conventional descriptors (CDs) 47 Tomato Analyzer (TA) related plant morphometry. Comprehensive phenotyping of 150 accessions representing 21 countries discerned noticeable for CD TA quantified features, such as shape, size, color. Hierarchical cluster analysis divided the...
Selection of high-performance lines with respect to traits interest is a key step in plant breeding. Genomic prediction allows determine the genomic estimated breeding values unseen for trait using genetic markers, e.g. single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and machine learning approaches, which can therefore shorten cycles, referring selection (GS). Here, we applied GS approaches two populations Solanaceous crops, i.e. tomato pepper, predict morphometric colorimetric traits. The were...
Abstract Background Due to global warming, the search for new sources heat tolerance and identification of genes involved in this process has become an important challenge as today. The main objective current research was verify whether determined controlled greenhouse experiments could be a good predictor agronomic performance field cultivation under climatic high temperature stress. Results Tomato accessions were grown three regimes: control (T1), moderate (T2) extreme stress (T3)....
Characterization of local germplasm is an effective way to identify elite breeding material and develop improved varieties. This study was aimed assess 52 tomato accessions comprised varieties (28), landraces (8), lines (14), wild relatives (2), their characterization for 30 morphological/agronomic, four fruit quality, mosaic virus (ToMV) resistance traits. Morphological, ToMV traits were evaluated using phenotyping, biochemical assays, molecular markers, respectively. Fruit shape size...
This article summarizes the results of a research conducted to create an intelligent platform supporting small farmers growing vegetables. In Bulgaria, many use relatively areas for their production. Considering this situation, is designed regional use, trying make maximum specific climatic features monitored microdistrict. Consequently, special attention paid possibilities adapting environment in which observed plants grow. Thus, implemented as agent-oriented system providing needed...
Genetic variability in modern crops is limited due to domestication and selection processes. variation eight Bulgarian tomato varieties breeding lines (variety Plovdivska karotina, variety IZK Alya, L21β, L53β, L1140, L1116, L975, L984) differing their morphological biochemical composition was assessed using a highly efficient low-cost fluorescent simple sequence repeat (SSR) genotyping platform. Genotyping conducted with 165 publicly available microsatellite markers developed from different...
Tomato consumer liking results from the interaction between fruit's characteristics and human senses, shaped by diversity among consumers regarding physiology, culture past consumption experiences. Rather than a unique preference, can be segmented into different sensory clusters (sensoclusters). This study investigates European preferences for general-supermarket tomatoes compares them with renowned landraces in local markets. Based on of two focus groups, online surveys were designed to...
Tomato breeding lines with fruit colour different from the traditional red were studied in order to search for sources of resistance races R0 and R1 Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato. As a result selection healthy plants hypersensitive response (HR), was stabilized perspective gene-carriers bacterial speck chosen. Lines L1078 L1083 brown-red (black) coloured fruits line L1130 purple-red possess complex R1. It established that two rose-coloured tomato (L1088 L584) resistant race 1 P. These...
Drought stress has become an important limiting factor for tomato growth and yield. To evaluate the effect of water on productivity nine genotypes were grown in a field at Maritsa Vegetable Crops Research Institute under two watering regimes - optimum 50% reduced. Flower number, fruit weight flower abortion rate measured. The studied showed different behavior response to drought stress. A decrease number from 2nd 5th trusses was observed scarcity. Water reduced by 25% 58% compared control...

In the current study, a collection of forty-seven tomato accessions divided into five groups and sensitive control MoneyMaker were evaluated based on their performance under condition reduced irrigation. The exposed to water stress (50% irrigation). reproductive traits (flower fruit number, set) weights used in assessing drought tolerance. A decrease flower set weight from 2nd 5th inflorescence was observed scarcity. Among studied groups, indeterminate, large fruited ones most strongly...
Drought is among the stress factors that, on a global scale, have direct negative effects plant growth, yield, and quality. Great efforts are directed towards water shortage adaptation. Exploring genetic diversity of landraces often tolerant to locally occurring can represent valuable source for development cultivars with yield stability improved quality under conditions. This study aimed identify drought-tolerant tomato based an integrated approach involving morphological traits...
Bacterial spot in pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is caused by Xanthomonas euvesicatoria and X. vesicatoria.The natural Bulgarian population of vesicatoria belongs to pepper-tomato pathotypes (PT), whereas Macedonian refers (P).Bacterial has become a very serious disease Bulgaria during the past few years.The use resistant cultivars most economically technically efficient method for control.Pepper varieties with immune and/or reaction were not found this study.Moderately susceptible both...
