The Search for a Better Tasting Tomato

摘要

With a growing number of consumers turning to cherry, grape and other specialty tomatoes in search of better taste, researchers are stepping up their efforts to improve the flavor of standard field- and greenhouse-grown varieties. C.D. Harlow, M.M. Peet and E.S. Larrea, all with the Department of Horticultural Science at North Carolina State University, Raleigh, N.D., have published a study, "Modifying Fruit Quality in Greenhouse Tomato Cultivars with NaCl Additions" presented during Plasticulture 05, held March 5-8 in Charleston, S.C., sponsored by the American Society for Plasticulture.
