Morphological analysis-based yield modeling in greenhouse grown cherry tomato (<i>Solanum lycopersicum</i>) under prolonged heat stress.

ABSTRACT: In South Korea, cherry tomato (Solanum lycioersucum) is a major greenhouse vegetable crop. However, climate change has steadily raised Earth's average temperature, posing a serious challenge for greenhouse agriculture. Elevated temperatures can trigger heat stress in greenhouse crops, leading to considerable yield losses. This study developed a greenhouse tomato growth model for two cherry tomato accessions, HR17 and HR24, cultivated under heat stress conditions during growing periods. Climate projections based on polynomial regression were incorporated into the plant growth model to assess climate change impacts on tomato yields. The two tomato accessions demonstrate distinct growth characteristics: HR24 allocates more biomass relative to fruit yield (Harvest index:0.48), whereas H
