20 tomato hybrids were evaluated alongside their parents and a commercial check in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The dataset likely contains measurements of plant architecture, yield, and fruit quality traits. Author Tâmara K. C. Mendes published this data on figshare in 2026 under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
Use Cases
- Analyze combining ability effects based on general and specific combining ability metrics
- Identify superior hybrids based on multi-trait selection using the MGIDI index
- Compare hybrid performance against a commercial check for yield-related traits
- Estimate heritability for traits like internode diameter and fruit size
Strengths
- Data is derived from a structured North Carolina II mating design with 9 inbred lines and 20 hybrids
- Traits assessed include plant architecture, yield, and fruit quality, covering multiple breeding objectives
- Heritability estimates for key traits are provided, ranging from 60.42% to 87.03%
Limitations
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- The dataset is 15.8 KB, indicating a very limited scope and likely small sample size
