　　 The new line FMTT 593 was introduced from AVRDC in 1994 and Taichung Asveg NO.4 was used as control in regional trial. These trials were conducted in lowland for two years (1996~1997) and in highland for three years (1998~2000). FMTT593 was selected as a new tomato line with heat tolerance, disease resistance, and green shoulder. The evaluation of this new variety was completed in July, 2000, and released as “Taichung Asveg No.10” as well as the trade name was given as “Ai-Lan black tomato”.

　　 The characteristics of Taichung Asveg No.10 are indeterminate, vigorous. There are 6-8 flowers in average per cluster while it flowers. The fruit setting rate are 89% in autumn and 42% in late summer crop. Fruit shape is globe and shoulder color of immature fruit is dark green and then turns into red in mature fruit. Average weight of single fruit is 164 g. The fruits are firm with crisp texture and good storage ability. The yield is 68.8 ton/ha at highland (above sea level 600-1,000 m) in summer crop, 44.4 ton/ha at lowland in late summer crop in southern Taiwan, as well as 36.8 ton/ha in lowland in summer crop in northern Taiwan. Durations from planting to last harvest are 114-135 days, and fruit producing periods are 42-68 days.
