Abstract
THE production of fertile hybrids between members of the species Lycopersicum esculentum and L. peruvianum var. dentatum has been achieved at the Plant Breeding Laboratory, Melbourne, Victoria, by the adoption of a technique involving the reciprocal grafting of parent plants prior to hybridization. Eight self-fertile interspecific hybrids, produced by this method during the period 1955–58, have been observed and selected from F 1 to F 4.
