In Vivo And In Vitro Production of Some Genotypes of Cherry Tomato Solanum Lycopersicum Var. Cerasiforme (DUNAL`)

Cherry tomato is a variety that is poorly present at Macedonian fields, mainly due to the traditional habits of the consumers and the commercial tomato producers to grow tomato varieties with large fruit. Cherry tomato - Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. var. cerasiforme (Dunal) is a tomato variety with small fruit, while having different shapes and colors, and it is used mainly for fresh consumption. The features of this variety are portrayed its sweetness and aroma, which further enriche the taste of food. During this research, a comparative analysis of the morphological traits in this type of tomato in outdoor production conditions, as well as in protected environment was performed. The possibilities for production and maintenance in plant tissue culture in vitro were researched as well, with the goal of improving the morphological and biological features of cherry tomato.
