F1 cultivars are currently used in vegetable production because of their many superior agronomic advantages (high yield and quality, resistance/tolerance to biotic and/or abiotic stress factors, wide adaptability, etc.). It is not possible to produce hybrid vegetables without homozygous pure parental lines with defined traits and high combining ability. However, the production of homozygous pure parents needs a long time, great efforts, and high production cost. Moreover obtaining an F1 hybrid v
