چکیده

Since Lycopersicon was separated from the closely related Solanum, the species of tomatoes have been reduced by taxonomic revisions to six (MULLER 1940) or seven (LUCKWILL 1g43), all probably indigenous to the West coast of South America or the adjacent Galapagos Islands. These species are naturally divided into two sections or subgenera: I. EULYCOPERSICON, containing the two edible and widely cultivated species and their numerous natural and artificial hybrids and derived combinations. Theseare annual, mainly selfpollinating, species, generally lacking bracts and pseudostipules, and bearing glabrous, red (yellow, etc.) fruits containing the carotinoid pigments, lycopene and carotin. L. esculentum Mill. the common cultigen, has coarse, villose stems, while L. pimpinellifolium (Jus].) Mill., the Red Currant tomato, has slenderer, smooth stems, raceme-like inflorescences, and smaller fruits. 11. ERIOPERSICON, including four or five, more or less woody-stemmed, perennial wild species, distributed along the narrow coastal strip or up mountain slopes from Ecuador to Chile, and in the Galapagos Islands. These species are probably crosspollinating (LUCKWILL 1943) and bear small, pubescent, clear-skinned, greenish-white fruits, often tinged, moitled or striped with purple, and containing chlorophyll and anthocyan pigmentf;. A. Species with simpleinflorescence and leaf form, and lacking bracts and pseudostipules. L. cheesmani Riley, of the Galapagoa, and L. pissisi Phil. (or L. peruvianum var. humijusum of MULLER 1940). B. Species with forked inflorescences, more complex leaf forms, and with bracts and pseudostipules. L. peruvianum (L) Mill. is a coastal desert species with several varieties, including dentatum Dun (L. chilense), and probably humifusum C. H. Mull. (L. pissisi). L. glandulosum, C. H. Mull and L. hir-

Structural differences in chromosomes distinguish species in the tomato clade.

The tomato clade of Solanaceae is composed of 12 species that are all diploid with the same chromosome number and morphology. Species in the tomato clade are considered to have evolved primarily by genic changes rather than large-scale chromosomal rearrangements because pachytene chromosomes in F(1) hybrids synapse normally along their lengths and linkage maps of intra- and inter-specific hybri...

Pyramiding of genes conferring resistance to Tomato yellow leaf curl virus from different wild tomato species

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) production in tropical and subtropical regions of the world is limited by the endemic presence of Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV). Breeding programmes aimed at producing TYLCV-resistant tomato cultivars have utilized resistance sources derived from wild tomato species. So far, all reported breeding programmes have introgressed TYLCV resistance from a single w...

A New Sythetic Hybrid (A1D5) between Gossypium herbaceum and G. raimondii and Its Morphological, Cytogenetic, Molecular Characterization

The diploid species G. herbaceum (A1) and G. raimondii (D5) are the progenitors of allotetraploid cotton, respectively. However, hybrids between G. herbaceum and G. raimondii haven't been reported. In the present study, hybridization between G. herbaceum and G. raimondii was explored. Morphological, cytogenetic and molecular analyses were used to assess the hybridity. The interspecific hybrid p...

انتhybridقال ژرم پلاسم سولانوم آکول به سیب زمینی زراعی با استفاده از هیبرید بین گونه‌ای تریپلوئید

The commercial potato is an autotetraploid species. Certain allotetraploid species such as S. acaule despite theire identical ploidy level are not crossable with commercial potato due to their different endosperm balance numbers. The aim of this experiment was to investigate the possibility of germplasm transferring from allotetraploid species to cultivated potato by the use of diploid species ...
