Summary The different viabilities of pollen produced at low temperatures in intra- and inter-specific crosses of tomato were studied. Cultivars Red Top, Moneymaker, and Marroqui were crossed with cultivar E-15 and these four cultivars were hybridized with lines of the wild speciesL. pimpinellifolium PE-13,L. parviflorum PE-52,L. pennellii PE-47, andL. hirsutum PE-37 and PE-41. A six-generation family of the Moneymaker x PE-47 cross was obtained to carry out a more detailed genetical study of pollen grain viability at low temperatures. Pollen grain viability was evaluated during the winter via acetocarmine staining. When the parents were compared with their F1, the intra-specific tomato crosses showed dominance to better-quality pollen, theL. esculentum x L. pimpinellifolium inter-specific crosses showed positive heterosis, while the crosses ofL. esculentum with the tolerant speciesL. pennellii andL. hirsutum showed intermediate inheritance. However, in theL. esculentum x L. pennellii family, the dominance and the non-allelic interactions (homozygosis x homozygosis) were the most important factors, so that dominance to better viability at low temperatures appeared to be the general mode of inheritance. Genetical control of pollen grain viability at low temperatures seemed to be polygenetic.
