Tomato Improvement Project , (l) Learn host-parasite 

 relationship between internal browning (grey-wall) of tomato 

 and virus or viruses that may be involved; (2) screen varieties 

 that may have resistance to these viruses and to Fusarium wilt 

 organism, and learn their possibilities for growing under State 

 conditions; (3) initiate a breeding program designed to get 

 disease resistance into acceptable varieties} (4) investigate 

 early blight disease and its methods of control.
