Tomato Genetics
Here’s a video of Tom explaining basic tomato genetics, as well as giving ideas on how people could use some of his varieties and crosses to teach themselves and others about plant breeding. Tom offers some of his ideas for creating a publicly available collection of tomato genetic resources, as well as some research people could do if they wanted to help him collect more information.

Excellent videos! I really enjoyed listening to all of them. I inadvertently grew a Schimmeig Stoo that I later found out was developed by Tom Wagner this year…what a great tomato. I found the info. on Solanum berthaultii (King Harry) very interesting. Thanks for sharing this information.
Great that you are sharing these videos with Tom Wagner. He expands my understanding of breeding vegetables, and the way he explain these things comes so natural, based on his long practice.
Hi Mike and Søren, thanks for the nice comments. A few more videos are coming up later this week.
Grrrreat! Thanks for sharing Tom with everyone 🙂 He’s a huge library of very practical knowledge & a warm person too.
Are you the Tom Wagoner that flew Scouts in 1971?
Hi Bullfrog,
I’m not Tom. I just posted his video. You could ask him the question yourself in his discussion forum here:
