Path Analysis on the Appearance of Tomato Fruit Characters and the Internal Fruit Quality Traits in Tomato Germplasm Resources

In order to estimating the relative importance of the appearance of tomato fruit characters in lycopene content and soluble solids content structure,path analysis on 10 appearance of tomato fruit characters and the internal fruit quality traits after the correlation analysis in tomato quantitative traits was analyzed.The results showed that the characters as the size of pedicel scar,pedicel length and fruit hardness had larger direct effects to lycopene content and soluble solids content,and others had little indirect effects to those characters.
