FIGURE 2.

Agronomic and organoleptic quality parameters in red ripe fruits of tomato “Moneymaker” (MM) and two traditional varieties, “Tomate Pimiento” (TP) and “Muchamiel Aperado” (MA), from plants grown in control and salt (50 mM NaCl). (A) Vegetative biomass, (B) harvest index, (C) soluble solid content (SSC), (D) titratable acidity (TA), (E) Maturation Index (SSC/TA), (F) Brix yield index (SSC × fruit yield). For agronomic data, seven plants were individually harvested; for quality traits, three biological replicates of 10 fruits each were used. Values are expressed as means ± SE. Different letters indicate statistically significant differences according to Tukey’s test (p < 0.05).
