Growth Analysis of Leaf Characters in Certain Inbreds and Hybrids of Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) Mill

Abstract

                                In tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.), six parents and nine hybrids were evaluated through growth analysis. The number of leaves, leaf area index (LAI) and specific leaf weight showed a steady increase over the stages. On the other hand, a reduction was noticed from stage I to stage IV for specific leaf area and leaf area ratio. Most of the heterotic hybride, tended to have lower LAI. LAR, SLA and SLW than their respective parents.
