New sources for high resistance of tomato to the Tomato spotted wilt virus from Lycopersicon peruvianum
Plant Breeding 118 (5), 425-429
Abstract: Mechanical inoculation and transmission by thrips in a growth chamber were used in order to screen Lycopersicon peruvianum and Lycopersicon chilense germplasm for tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) resistance. Two highly aggressive Spanish TSWV isolates (HA-931100 and T-941117), having different restrictotypes were used. L. peruvianum accessions PI-126935, PI-126944, CIAPAN 16, PE-18 and CIAPAN 17 showed high resistance to both isolates in mechanical and thrips transmission. Their resistance appears useful in breeding programmes.
