Abstract
Plants of 19 wild Lycopersicon accessions were tested in the greenhouse for resistance to P. tomato, which causes bacterial speck. Plants of L. pimpinellifolium (PI [plant introduction] 126430), L. peruvianum (PI 128643 and 128650), and L. hirsutum f. glabratum (PI 134417 and 134418) remained symptomless. Individual plants of L. pimpinellifolium (PI 126433, 126925 and 126939) and L. peruvianum (PI 126946 and 128652) also showed a high level of resistance to the pathogen. Resistance of L. pimpinellifolium in accession PI 26430 to P. tomato was dominant and conditioned by a single gene.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
