Tomato Plants, scientifically known as Solanum Lycopersicon, are fascinating examples of plant biology. Here are key aspects of their biology:
Botanical Classification:
Kingdom: Plantae
Order: Solanales
Family: Solanaceae
Growth Habit:
Tomato plants exhibit a determinate or indeterminate growth habit.
Determinate varieties have a fixed number of growth nodes and typically stop growing once fruit sets. Indeterminate varieties continue to grow, producing fruit continuously until environmental factors or disease inhibit growth.
