Thanks for the pointer.

The only tie between genetics and this study are the 4 strains of tomato used (p.36). Otherwise, the paper goes no deeper. In my years of reviewing, I would rank the work as acceptable for MA Horticulture or BS Horticulture.

I did not check all the references. But because of my interest in rootstocks for perennial fruits, I am disappointed that there are a number of citations listed on p.83 that are not found in the references, and the reverse is true - the latter is permitted by several standards.
