Abstract
Determinations of ascorbic acid content in tomatoes revealed that the concentration was greater in tetraploid than in diploid fruits although the difference was not so great as that shown by previously published results. The authors postulate that some unknown factor or factors may be responsible for this disparity. The data show that, in genetically similar diploid or tetraploid groups, the concentration of ascorbic acid is apparently not correlated with the size of the fruit.
