The study looked at different types of tomatoes to see how they vary in important traits like size, color, and taste. They found that some traits, like plant spread and fruit weight, are mostly influenced by genetics and can be easily improved through selection. The researchers tested 60 tomato varieties and found significant differences in 24 characteristics. Traits like fruit size, color, and acidity showed high heritability and potential for improvement through genetic selection. This means that certain tomato traits are mostly determined by genes and can be changed by choosing the right plants for breeding.
