Innovation for organic Tomato: Breeding for diversity and quality

The poster describes Solibam work on tomatoes, in France and Italy, such as the breeding schemes and the various connections between WPs. In 2010 and 2011, the main activity in WP3 consists on creating populations (genetically diverse germplasm) on two kinds of tomatoes: “Coeur de boeuf” type and “M...

Summary:The poster describes Solibam work on tomatoes, in France and Italy, such as the breeding schemes and the various connections between WPs. In 2010 and 2011, the main activity in WP3 consists on creating populations (genetically diverse germplasm) on two kinds of tomatoes: “Coeur de boeuf” type and “Marmande” type. These populations are generated through several targeted crosses between several landraces collected in France and Italy (in situ and ex situ collections). In 2013 and 2014, there will be two main breeding programmes: one in WP5 by seed companies (Gautier Semences and Arcoiris), on other in WP6 (Participatory Plant Breeding). In the end of the programme, there will be a comparison of these two breeding approches, including molecular analyses (WP2). All along the process, from 2011 to 2014 (and after), agronomic, organoleptic and nutritional tests are implemented to manage and guide the selection.
