Screening of tomato hybrids for resistance to Fusarium wilt

Few commercial genotypes of tomato are resistant to Fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici [FOL]), especially race 3. We developed five intraspecific hybrids Solanum lycopersicum (FOX1 FOX5) and assessed them for agronomic traits resistance FOL races 1, 2, 3, a mixture these races. FOX1 FOX4 were all the but did not have desired traits. Next, as rootstocks cherry Sweet Heaven. The grafting Heaven on reduce growth, gas exchange, yield, or fruit quality. When was used rootstock, fruits exhibited reduction in firmness, pulp pH, total soluble solids by 14.3%, 1.2%, 6.75%, respectively. Thus, hybrid can be rootstock manage wilt.
