尽管对延迟番茄成熟的各种方法进行了大量研究,这对商品生产者和业余园艺爱好者都是必要的,但是所研究出的方法实际上并不很受欢迎。然而,温室作物研究所(GCRI)的试验表明,在低温下,把改进空气贮藏和利用不成熟突变体培育得来的杂交种相结合,不论是露地番茄还是室内番茄都可能成功地延迟果实的成熟。多年来进行的零星试验,目的是要研究出一套贮藏番茄的方法,希望象苹果、梨那样, Although extensive research has been conducted on various methods of delaying tomato ripening, which are necessary for both commodity producers and amateur horticultural enthusiasts, the methodologies developed are not generally very popular. However, GCRI trials have shown that combining low-temperature improved air storage with hybrids grown using immature mutants, both open-field and indoor tomatoes, can successfully delay fruit mature. The sporadic experiments that have been carried out over many years aim to develop a set of methods for storing tomatoes, hoping, like apples and pears,
