RESTREPO SALAZAR, Edwin Fernando; VALLEJO CABRERA, Franco Alirio  and  LOBO ARIAS, Mario. Flowering phenology in cultivated tomato and related wild species. Acta Agron. [online]. 2008, vol.57, n.2, pp.89-93. ISSN 0120-2812.

The flowering phenology of twelve wild accesions of Solanum section Lycopersicum were compared with those of the cultivated tomato type of “chonto” by using the randomized complete block design. The treatments were repeated three times. The appearance initiate of the first twelve inflorescences and kind of inflorescence were evaluated. The phenologies of the accesions of the glabratum variety from S. habrochaites (PI 134417, PI134418 y PI126449), LA1624 y LA2092 of the typicum variety from S. habrochaites and LA 444-1 from S. peruvianum coincided with those of the “chonto” tomato. There were no significant differences between the glabratum variety accessions and cultivated tomato in the starting days of flowering variable. The accesions of the glabratum variety from S. habrochaites and the cultivated tomato presented simple inflorescences; while the accesions of the typicum variety from S. habrochaites and S. peruvianum specie showed compound inflorescences.

Keywords : Solanum lycopersicum; S. habrochaites; S. peruvianum; kind of inflorescence.
