Abstract

The whitefly-transmitted tomato yellow-leaf curl gemini-virus (TYLCV) is a major pathogen of tomatoes. The wild tomato species Lycopersicon chilense, which is resistant to the virus, was crossed to the cultivated tomato, L. esculentum. The backcross-1 selfed (BC1S1) generation was inoculated and a symptomless plant was selected. This plant was analyzed using 61 molecular markers, which span the tomato genome, to determine which L. chilense chromosome segments were introgressed. A BC2S1 population was cage-inoculated with viroliferous whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci), the natural insect vector of the virus, and subjected to RFLP analysis. Markers on chromosomes 3 and 6 were significantly associated with the level of tolerance; the association of chromosome-6 markers was further substantiated in two additional BC2S1 populations. A tolerant BC2S1 plant which was homozygous for L. chilense introgressions in chromosomes 3, 6 and 7 was crossed to generate a BC3S1 population which was planted in an infested field. A TYLCV-tolerance gene with partial dominance, TY-1, was mapped to chromosome 6; two modifier genes were mapped to chromosomes 3 and 7. Field and whitefly-mediated cage inoculations of nearly-isogenic lines in BC3S3 supported our conclusion that TY-1 is the major TYLCV-tolerance locus.
