| Abstract: | Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Miller) is an important vegetable crop widely cultivated in China. According to the climate, four ecological districts of tomato cultivation can be distinguished, namely Southern District, Middle and Eastern District, Northern District, and Northeastern District. Tomatoes are grown mainly in plastic tunnels or in open fields. The varieties with large fruit, red or pink are favored. Though there are many diseases and pests which attack tomatoes, only a few of them were included in the breeding programme, such as TMV, CMV, Cladosperium fulvum, Pseudomonas solanacearum. Further work will include the disease resistance to other diseases and pests, fruit quality and long growing season for greenhouse production. |
