Abstract
The present invention relates to tomato plants that are resistant to pathogenic plants of the Orobanchaceae family, to methods for producing said plants and to the use thereof. The invention further relates to a method of controlling parasitic plants of the Orobanchaceae family, particularly O. aegyptiaca, in tomato crops and for securing tomato fruit production.
Claims23
A tomato plant exhibiting a resistance to a parasitic plant of the genus Orobanche, wherein said resistance is controlled by a genetic determinant, particularly a genetic determinant, which is freely transmissible between different tomato plants or lines, particularly a genetic determinant, which shows a Mendelian inheritance, particularly a genetic determinant, which is represented by a single gene which shows a recessive inheritance.
Tomato plant line ORT-10, seeds of which is deposited with NCIMB under accession number NCIMB 41586, particularly a hybrid tomato plant providing Orobanche resistance produced by using tomato plant line ORT-10 as a parent.
Method of producing an Orobanche resistant tomato plant comprising the steps of introgressing from a donor plant, particularly tomato line ORT-10, deposited with NCIMB under accession number NCIMB 41586, comprising a genetic determinant directing or controlling expression of the Orobanche resistance phenotype into a recipient plant, which is susceptible to infections with the Orobanche parasite, particularly to infestations of O. aegyptiaca, by (a) crossing said donor plant with said recipient plant to obtain a progeny plant exhibiting the Orobanche resistance, (b) screening for and selecting from the progeny plants a plant exhibiting an Orobanche resistant phenotype and, optionally, harvesting the resultant progeny seed.
