In an effort to improve upon tomato varieties on the Ghanaian market, this study was carried out to identify genotypes with desirable qualities for further breeding work. The study was executed by crossing some varieties of Solanum lycopersicon; cherry red, cherry yellow, roma and wosowoso with a wild tomato, Solanum pimpinellifolium. The progenies were cultivated for four generations to obtain these lines. Fruits harvested from these lines of F4 were analysed for the following physico-chemical properties; dry matter, pH, total titratable acidity, total soluble solids and vitamin C. The total soluble solids and total titratable acidity were used to deduce flavour and sweetness indices for the fruits. Significant (p |
