Abstract: | The androgenic potential of four tomato lines (Micro-Tina, Micro-Gemma, Moneymaker and MsK8 as parents) and their hybrids
were studied through colchicine (250 mg/l) and cold (4°C for 72 h) pretreatments of isolated anthers. The pretreated anthers
were cultured on induction medium. Statistical analysis showed that there was significant differences between genotypes for
the studied traits. The lines MsK8 and Micro-Gemma had a considerably higher frequency of callus formation (CF) and shoot
regeneration (SR) as well as greater callus diameters (CD) than that of other parents. The highest frequency of CF and SR
belonged to hybrid MsK8 × Micro-Tina, and the longest CD possessed by Micro-Tina × Micro-Gemma. The mean values for hybrid’s
CF, CD, and SR were significantly higher than those of the parents. In total, heterosis (hybrid vigor) was observed for the
studied traits and heterozygous genotypes had a higher frequency of androgenic potential compared with homozygous parents. |
