Abstract
A RAPD marker, linked to the Tm-2(a) gene engendering TMV resistance i n tomatoes, was identified. The validity of the RAPD marker was corrob orated by screening several tomato varieties, and correctly identifyin g those which carried Tm-2(a), as well as by F-2 segregation analysis. All tested resistant varieties descending from a common Lycopersicon peruvianum/esculentum ancestor, LA1791, exhibited this marker.
