The study was undertaken to evaluate the fruit quality parameters of six contrasting tomato
genotypes including three susceptible (Arka Abha, IIHR-2627 and IIHR-2914) and three
tolerant (IIHR-2202, IIHR-2745 and IIHR-2841) to high temperature stress. After flower
initiation, tomato genotypes were grown under polytunnel to expose them to high
temperature (40±2°C) till the time of harvesting. Uniformly ripen healthy fruits were
harvested and analyzed for fruit quality parameters comprises total phenols, total
flavonoids, antioxidant capacity in terms of FRAP (Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Potential)
and DPPH (2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl), total carotenoids, lycopene, total sugars,
vitamin C, Total Soluble Solids (TSS) and Titrable Acidity (TA). Results revealed that
there were significant differences between the genotypes in tomato fruit quality
parameters. High temperature reduced total carotenoids and lycopene content in tomato
fruits and it was decreased significantly in Arka Abha and IIHR-2914 compared to other
genotypes. IIHR-2202 recorded very high antioxidant capacity in terms of FRAP, DPPH
radical scavenging ability under high temperature stress. TA and TSS increased
significantly in all the genotypes under high temperature stress. Tolerant genotypes
recorded higher total phenols and total flavonoids content both under control and high
temperature stress conditions. Genotypic variations were observed in the above stated
biochemical parameters to high temperature stress. Based on these results, two genotypes
namely IIHR-2841 and IIHR-2202 were found to be good at maintaining the all quality
parameters under high temperature stress compared to Arka Abha and IIHR-2914.
