MT BB: Tomato cultivar for practical classes of plant genetics and breeding

Fernando Angelo Piotto and Giancarlo Conde Xavier Oliveira

Abstract – MT BB cultivar originated from a backcross program which aimed at adding two recessive mutations that alter leaf architecture (potato leaf – c) and flower color (white flower – wf) to Micro-Tom cultivar, which is a tomato miniature. MT BB was developed for use in practical classes of genetics and breeding in both undergraduate and graduate courses.
