Evaluation of tomato germplasm for resistance to geminiviruses in Sanarate, GT: September 2003

         Luis Mejia, Universidad de San Carlos, Project leader

Example of a breeding line from Jay Scott with good resistance.

Saladette fruit about 100 g, firm, and DSI ca.1.5 on a breeding line with resistance from L. chilense.  This will be crossed with some of the F6 and F4 plants with resistance from L. hirsutum,  which have saladette shaped fruit and are firm, to provide a hybrid.
