LINKAGE BETWEEN FRL (FUSARIUM-OXYSPORUM F-SP RADICIS-LYCOPERSICI RESISTANCE) AND TM-2 (TOBACCO MOSAIC-VIRUS RESISTANCE-2) LOCI IN TOMATO (LYCOPERSICON-ESCULENTUM)
Dj. Vakalounakis et al., LINKAGE BETWEEN FRL (FUSARIUM-OXYSPORUM F-SP RADICIS-LYCOPERSICI RESISTANCE) AND TM-2 (TOBACCO MOSAIC-VIRUS RESISTANCE-2) LOCI IN TOMATO (LYCOPERSICON-ESCULENTUM), Annals of Applied Biology, 130(2), 1997, pp. 319-323
A study was carried out on the linkage relationship between the Frl lo
cus carrying resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. radicis-lycopersic
i and the Tm-2 locus carrying resistance to several races of tobacco m
osaic virus in the tomato inbred line IRB-301-31. The inbred line Mote
lle (Frl(+)/Frl(+), Tm-2(+)/Tm-2(+)) was crossed with the inbred line
IRB-301-31 (Frl/Frl, Tm-2/Tm-2). The resulting 222 F-2 plants were sel
fed, and from each F-3 family groups of 15-60 seedlings were tested fo
r resistance to either F. oxysporum f.sp. radicis-lycopersici or tobac
co mosaic virus race O. Segregation data indicated a very tight linkag
e between Frl and Tm-2, equal to 5.1 +/- 1.07 map units.
