Abstract:

To screen for high-quality cherry tomato varieties suitable for intelligent greenhouse cultivation，10 cherry tomato varieties were introduced and cultivated in this study. Their agronomic traits were investigated and comprehensively analyzed in combination with sensory evaluation. The results showed that 2 varieties，Ouxiuhuangying and Zixiaoke No. 1，exhibited superior overall performance. Ouxiuhuangying had yellow fruit color and high-round fruit shape，with certain ornamental value；its average single fruit weight was 31.40 g，with a relatively low fruit cracking rate. The sugar-to-acid ratio was 15.66，contributing to a well-balanced sweet-sour flavor and good taste. Its amino acid content was 2 600.75 μg·g^-1（on a fresh weight basis），indicating high nutritional value. Zixiaoke No. 1 had purple fruit color and high-round fruit shape，also with certain ornamental value. It exhibited an early first harvest date，facilitating early market supply，and had a long overall harvest period with good continuous fruiting habit. Its sugar-to-acid ratio was 15.32，with good flavor，and its vitamin C content was 315.3 μg·g^-1（on a fresh weight basis），also indicating high nutritional value.
