Abstract

Somatic hybrid plants of the genus Lycopersicon are produced by fusion of protoplasts of two species, one of which cannot be regenerated from protoplasts. This procedure enables the introduction of certain desirable traits of wild-type members of the genus into cultivated tomato species which do not regenerate from protoplasts.
