Abstract

Peralta, 1.E. & D. M. Spooner. 2000. Classification of wild tomatoes: a review. Kurtziana 28 (I): 45-54. Wild tomatoes are native to western South America. The generic status of wild tomatoes within the has been controversial since the eighteen century. Linnaeus in 1753 placed tomatoes in Solanum while Miller, a contemporary ofLinnaeus, classified tomatoes in a new Lycopersicon. The majority of later botanists have followed Miller. Differing numbers of and conflicting supraspecific classifications have been proposed, based on morphology or crossing studies. Two .. major crossability groups have been identified, one that includes mainly self-compatible species that easily cross with the cultivated , and another that comprises self-incompatible species not easily cross with the cultivated tomato. Recent molecular investigations using appropriate outgroups have shown that tomatoes and potatoes are close related phylogenetically, and support the inclusion . of tomatoes within Solanum, the classification advocated here. We discuss the conflicting goals of classifications based on predictivity versus stability, a continuing controversy in systematics. Key words: Lycopersicon, Solanum, tomatoes, classification.
