S. Rosello et al., New sources for high resistance of tomato to the tomato spotted wilt virusfrom Lycopersicon peruvianum, PLANT BREED, 118(5), 1999, pp. 425-429
Mechanical inoculation and transmission by thrips in a growth chamber were
used in order to screen Lycopersicon peruvianum and Lycopersicon chilense g
ermplasm for tomato spotted will virus (TSWV) resistance. Two highly aggres
sive Spanish TSWV isolates (HA-931100 and T-941117), having different restr
ictotypes were used. L. peruvianum accessions PI-126935, PI-126944, CIAPAN
16, PE-18 and CIAPAN 17 showed high resistance to both isolates in mechanic
al and thrips transmission. Their resistance appears useful in breeding pro
grammes.
