Abstract: The present investigation was carried out at Govind Ballabh Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar, with the objective to assess the genetic variability for different fruit quality and biochemical traits in polyhouse grown tomato germplasm. The experimental material for the present study comprised 36 treatments (28 F1s and 8 parents). The genotypes were studied for ten fruit quality and biochemical traits viz., number of locules per fruit, pericarp thickness (cm), diameter of stalk scar (cm), fruit firmness (kg/cm2), TSS (%), pH of fruit juice, titratable acidity (%), ascorbic acid (mg/100g), lycopene (mg/100g) and total carotenoids (mg/100g). The analysis of variance revealed significant genetic differences among 36 tomato genotypes for all fruit quality and biochemical traits under study. The magnitudes of PCV estimates were higher than the corresponding GCV estimates for all the characters. Moderate to high GCV together with moderate to high heritability and genetic advance as percent of mean was reported for majority of the characters under study.
