            Abstract

            Solanum lycopersicum L. was domesticated in Mexico, allowing for the development of improved varieties for different production conditions. The objective was to evaluate fruit characteristics and yield in parental and hybrid genotypes of native tomato. Four parental genotypes (P1-P4) and their hybrids (P1×P2, P1×P3, P1×P4) were cultivated in a completely randomized design with three replicates. Stem diameter, number of fruits per cluster, fruit weight, polar and equatorial diameter, and yield were recorded. Data were analyzed using ANOVA, cluster analysis, and Tukey's test (P ≤ 0.05), and heterosis was estimated. Significant differences were observed in fruit characteristics and yield. P2 and P1×P2 had the highest number of fruits; P4 and P1×P4 had the largest size and weight fruit. The highest yield was observed in P1×P2 (800.9 g plant-1). Heterosis ranged from -76.99 to 127.64%, positive in fruit number and yield. The parental and hybrid genotypes formed two groups, demonstrating traits useful for genetic improvement.
