Three elite tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L., syn. Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) breeding lines (TOM‐687, TOM‐688, TOM‐689) with high foliar acylsugar (AS) contents were obtained, and used along with two low‐AS lines (TOM‐690, TOM‐684) in hybrid combinations, to obtain six hybrids between one low‐AS line × one high‐AS line (= hybrids with intermediate AS levels), one hybrid between two high‐AS lines (= high‐AS hybrid), and one hybrid between two low‐AS lines (= low‐AS hybrid). These genotypes were tested for resistance to three different tomato pests (spider mites [Tetranychus urticae Koch], silverleaf whitefly [Bemisia argentifolii Bellows & Perring], and the South American tomato pinworm [Tuta absoluta (Meyrick)]) along with hybrid TEX‐154 (low‐AS) and/or Solanum pennellii Correll ‘LA‐716’ (high‐AS wild accession). In all three instances, high‐AS genotypes showed higher levels of pest resistance than low‐AS genotypes. Hybrids with intermediate AS levels showed resistances that were just as high as those of high‐AS genotypes for Bemisia argentifolii and Tuta absoluta, and nearly as good as those for Tetranychus urticae. Acylsugars were confirmed as being a major component of the high levels of pest resistances found in S. pennellii—a component that was successfully introgressed into elite tomato breeding lines. Acylsugar‐mediated pest resistance is effective against a broad spectrum of tomato pests. Because high‐AS breeding lines are scarce, the deployment of hybrids between high‐AS line × low‐AS line would be a quick, viable alternative to obtain commercial pest‐resistant hybrids.
We examined the resistance of improved tomato strains rich in 2-tridecanone (2-TD), zingiberene (ZGB) and acyl sugars (AA) to the tomato moth, Tuta absoluta. We also studied whether selection for strains with higher densities of glandular trichomes, and thus presumably strains with higher concentrations of 2-tridecanone, was effective in promoting greater resistance to the moth. The TOM-584 and TOM-679 strains were used as susceptible controls, which have normal concentrations of the three allelochemicals. The improved strain TOM-687, which has a high AA content, has a widely documented resistance and was used as a standard resistant strain. The wild strain PI134417, which is resistant by means of its high 2-TD content, was also used as a standard resistant strain. The experiment was installed in a greenhouse with a completely randomized design. The wild strain PI 134417 was confirmed as being highly resistant. TOM-622 (rich in 2-TD), ZGB-703 (rich in ZGB), and TOM-687 (rich in AA) showed significant reductions in the oviposition rate of the tomato moth, damage to the plants, injury to the leaflets, and the percentage of leaflets attacked in comparison with the control strains (TOM-584 and TOM-679). The levels of resistance to the moth for the TOM-622, ZGB-703, and TOM-687 strains were similar. In general, the genotypes with higher densities of glandular trichomes had greater resistance than the susceptible controls, with the strain BPX-367D-238-02 being particularly notable in its resistance.Index terms: Solanum lycopersicum, genotypes, breeding, indirect selection. RESUMOComparou-se a efetividade de linhagens melhoradas de tomateiro, ricas em 2-tridecanona (2-TD), zingibereno (ZGB) e acilaçúcares (AA), em relação aos níveis de resistência à traça-do-tomateiro Tuta absoluta. Verificaram-se, também, se linhagens selecionadas para maiores densidades de tricomas glandulares, presumivelmente com maiores níveis de 2-tridecanona, são efetivas em promover maior resistência à traça. Como testemunhas suscetíveis foram utilizadas as linhagens TOM-584 e TOM-679, com nível normal dos três aleloquímicos. A linhagem melhorada TOM-687 (com alto teor de AA) foi utilizada como linhagem resistente padrão, por ter sua resistência amplamente documentada, juntamente com o também resistente acesso selvagem PI134417 (com alto teor de 2-TD). O experimento foi instalado em casa de vegetação, em delineamento inteiramente casualizado. O acesso selvagem PI 134417 confirmou-se como altamente resistente. TOM-622 (rica em 2-TD), ZGB-703 (rica em ZGB) e TOM-687 apresentaram diminuições significativas na ovoposição da traça-do-tomateiro, bem como no dano geral na planta, lesão nos folíolos e porcentagem de folíolos atacados, comparadas às testemunhas TOM-584 e TOM-679. Os níveis de resistência à traça em TOM-622, ZGB-703 e TOM-687 foram similares entre si. Em geral, os genótipos selecionados com maiores densidades de tricomas glandulares apresentaram níveis de resistência também superiores aos das testemunhas suscetíveis, destacando en...
O objetivo deste trabalho foi comparar os graus de resistência à mosca-branca (Bemisia argentifolii) e ao ácaro-rajado (Tetranychus urticae) de híbridos de tomateiro resultantes do cruzamento entre linhagens com alto teor de zingibereno (ZGB) e linhagens com alto teor de acilaçúcar (AA), em contraste com as linhagens parentais e testemunhas comerciais. Foram avaliadas linhagens com altos teores de AA, linhagens com alto teor de ZGB, híbridos duplos heterozigotos ZGB+AA, híbridos heterozigotos para ZGB e híbridos heterozigotos para AA. Os acessos selvagens PI-127826 e LA-716 foram utilizados como testemunhas para alto teor de ZGB e AA, respectivamente, e os genótipos Débora Max e TOM-684 foram utilizados como testemunhas para baixo teor de ambos os aleloquímicos. Os genótipos foram submetidos ao teste de resistência à mosca-branca e ao teste de repelência ao ácaro. Os genótipos duplos heterozigotos apresentaram graus de resistência à mosca-branca superiores aos das testemunhas comerciais e inferiores aos das linhagens com alto ZGB ou com alto AA. Os genótipos duplos heterozigotos apresentaram maior repelência ao ácaro, em relação às testemunhas comerciais, e repelência semelhante à das linhagens com alto ZGB ou com alto AA. Não foi observado efeito sinérgico entre ZGB e AA nos genótipos duplos heterozigotos quanto à resistência à mosca-branca e repelência ao ácaro.
Zingiberene (ZGB) and acylsugars (AS) are allelochemicals responsible for high levels of arthropod resistance found in Solanum habrochaites (= Lycopersicon hirsutum) var. hirsutum 'PI 127826' and S. (= L.) pennelli 'LA 716', respectively. These accessions were used to develop commercial lines with good levels of pest resistance. The objective of the present work was to assess the ZGB and AS contents and the levels of resistance to Tuta absoluta in tomato hybrids between high ZGB 9 high AS lines, as compared with their parental lines and with commercial checks. High AS homozygous lines [TOM-688 and TOM-689, both originated from the interspecific cross S. lycopersicum (= L. esculentum) 9 S. pennelli], high ZGB homozygous lines (ZGB-703 and ZGB-704, both derived from the interspecific cross S. lycopersicum 9 S. habrochaites var. hirsutum), double heterozygotes for both ZGB and AS, single heterozygotes for ZGB, and single heterozygotes for AS were assessed for AS and ZGB contents. Low-ZGB low-AS checks 'Débora Max' and 'TOM-684' were used, as well as checks with high ZGB (PI 127826) and high AS (LA 716). The genotypes were submitted to infestation with South American tomato pinworm adults in a screenhouse, and oviposition counts were taken 10 days after the initial infestation date. Plants were scored for overall plant damage and percent leaflets attacked up to the 38th day after infestation. Genotypes heterozygous for ZGB or AS showed allelochemical contents intermediate to those of their high and low content parents, indicating incompletely dominant gene action for contents of each of the allelochemicals. There were no significant differences in T. absoluta oviposition between high-AS homozygous genotypes, high-ZGB homozygotes, single heterozygotes for AS, single heterozygotes for ZGB and double heterozygotes for ZGB and AS, but all these genotypes showed egg counts significantly lower than the low-ZGB low-AS checks. Feeding damage of T. absoluta was higher in the low-ZGB low-AS checks than in any other ZGB-rich or AS-rich tomato genotype. Relative to ZGB or AS single heterozygotes, the heterozygotes for both ZGB and AS showed higher levels of resistance to the insect, as measured by overall plant damage, indicating a synergic effect of the allelochemicals on resistance.
RESUMOO trabalho foi realizado com o objetivo de avaliar o potencial agronômico de híbridos de tomateiro a partir da linhagem TOM-687, rica em acilaçúcares e de resistência comprovada a pragas. O experimento foi instalado na HortiAgro, município de Ijaci, MG. Foi constituído de 30 genótipos (5 híbridos comerciais, 1 linhagem pré-comercial (TOM-687), e 24 híbridos nos quais TOM-687 foi utilizada como um dos pais), os quais foram conduzidos em tutoramento com haste dupla, no espaçamento de 1,30 x 0,50 m, totalizando 15.385 plantas por hectare. Foram realizadas nove colheitas, entre as datas de 01/11/08 a 28/11/08. Foram avaliadas as características de massa média por fruto (g fruto -1 ) e produção por hectare (t ha -1 ). Os 24 híbridos que tiveram TOM-687 como um dos pais apresentaram potencial produtivo similar ao das testemunhas comerciais Débora Max, Bravo, Bônus, Kombat e Atyna. Dos 24 híbridos experimentais, quatro (TEX-298, TEX-310, TEX-315 e TEX-316) foram avaliados quanto à resistência à traça-do-tomateiro (Tuta absoluta) e mostraram--se mais resistentes do que as testemunhas comerciais. Traits assessed were mean fruit weight (g fruit -1 ) and total yield (t ha -1 ). All 24 hybrids with TOM-687 as a parent showed yields similar to those of the commercial check hybrids Débora Max, Bravo, Bônus, Kombat and Atyna. Four of these experimental hybrids (TEX-298, TEX-310, TEX-315 and TEX-316) were assessed for resistance to the South American tomato pinworm Tuta absoluta, and were shown to possess higher degrees of pest resistance than the current commercial hybrid checks.

In Brazil, the tomato is cultivated in almost all geographic regions even though its yield is significantly reduced by pests and diseases. Among these pests and diseases, whitefly is a major problem that causes direct and indirect damage due to its role in transmission of geminiviruses. The aim of the present study was to compare the degree of resistance to the silverleaf whitefly of tomato plant lines rich in acyl sugars (AS), zingiberene (ZGB), and 2-tridecanone (2-TD) and to establish whether selection for strains with higher densities of glandular trichomes promotes sufficient resistance to this insect pest. The investigated lines were developed by performing back-crossings in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) from the interspecific crossing of S. lycopersicum x S. habrochaites var. glabratum 'PI 134417'. Lines rich in AS, ZGB, and 2-TD were tested for their levels of resistance to B. tabaci biotype B. Two tomato plant lines (TOM-584 and TOM-679) with normal AS levels and one wild specimen (PI 134417) with high 2-TD content were used as controls. TOM-687, ZGB-703, and TOM-622 were less preferred by B. tabaci for oviposition, and nymphs exhibited a poorer survival rate on those plant lines than on the susceptible controls, TOM-584 and TOM-679. Allelochemicalrich lines exhibited pest resistance, whereas the controls did not, and the allelochemical-rich lines did not differ significantly from each other in the level of resistance. The results show that the development of tomato plant lines rich in 2-TD, ZGB and AS is an effective option for indirect selection for resistance to B. tabaci biotype B. All lines selected based on high trichome density except for BPX-365F-751-05-01-03 exhibited fewer nymphs than the susceptible controls, indicating that selection for more glandular trichomes was generally effective in promoting increased resistance to the silverleaf white flay.Index terms: Solanum lycopersicum, 2-tridecanone, zingiberene, acyl sugars, indirect selection. RESUMONo Brasil, o tomate é cultivado em praticamente todas as regiões, embora seu rendimento seja reduzido por pragas e doenças. A mosca-branca, comumente presente, causa danos diretos e indiretos, devido à transmissão de geminiviros. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi comparar o grau de resistência à mosca branca de linhagens de tomateiro ricas em acilaçúcares (AA), zingibereno (ZGB) e 2-tridecanona (2-TD) e verificar se a seleção de linhagens com base em tricomas glandulares é efetiva no sentido de promover níveis satisfatórios de resistência. Essas linhagens foram obtidas através de retrocruzamentos em tomateiro Solanum lycopersicum, a partir do cruzamento interespecífico S. lycopersicum x S. habrochaites var. glabratum 'PI 1344171'. Linhagens ricas em AA , ZGB e 2-TD foram testadas para níveis de resistência. Duas linhagens de tomateiro (TOM-584 e TOM-679), com nível normal de AA, e o acesso selvagem (PI 134417), alto teor de 2-TD, foram utilizados como testemunhas.

RESUMO -O conhecimento genético de manifestações fenotípicas de características de importância agronô-mica em vegetais é uma atividade de grande importância, cujos resultados são amplamente utilizados por fitomelhoristas. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi estudar o tipo de segregação genética que ocorre ao se cruzar um genótipo anão versus genótipo de hábito de crescimento indeterminado. A referida planta foi encontrada vegetando espontaneamente no município de Piracicaba (SP) em local de descarte de frutos por tomaticultores juntamente com as plantas normais. As sementes de ambas as plantas foram colhidas separadamente para início do estudo e codificadas da seguinte forma: planta com fenótipo normal (FN) e planta com fenótipo atípico com características de porte anão (FA). A metodologia constou de cruzamentos biparentais recíprocos e retrocruzamentos da geração F 1 com o genitor FA e obtenção de geração F 2 . Os dados obtidos oriundos da contagem de plantas das populações obtidas (F 1 , F 2 e F 1 RC 1 ) foram submetidos ao teste de χ 2 de acordo com a frequência esperada e observada do fenótipo normal (FN) e planta com fenótipo atípico com características de porte anão (FA), tendo como hipótese uma segregação mendeliana 3:1, obtida para herança monogênica. Pelos resultados obtidos foi possível concluir que o fenótipo observado na planta no presente estudo é de origem genética recessiva, podendo ser transmito para outras plantas via cruzamento.

DWARFISM OCCURRENCE IN TOMATO PLANT TYPE GRAPEABSTRACT -The phenotypic manifestations of genetic knowledge of important agronomic traits in plants is an activity of great importance, whose results are widely used in plant breeding. The objective was to study the type of genetic segregation that occurs when crossing a dwarf genotype versus indeterminate growth habit genotype. Their plant was found growing spontaneously in Piracicaba (SP), on-site disposal of fruits per tomatoes producers along with normal plants. Seeds of both plants were harvested separately for baseline and coded as follows: a plant with a normal phenotype (FN) and plant with atypical phenotype with characteristics of dwarfism (FA). The methodology consisted of biparental and reciprocal backcrosses of the F 1 to the parent FA and obtained the F 2 generation. The data derived from the plant count populations obtained (F 1 , F 2 and backcrosses) were tested using the χ 2 according to the expected frequency and observed the normal phenotype (FN) and plant with atypical phenotype with characteristics of dwarfism (FA), under the hypothesis Mendelian segregation 3:1, obtained by monogenic inheritance. From the results, it can be concluded that the phenotype observed in the plant in this study is recessive genetic origin can be inserted into other plants by crossing.
Little is known about the commercial potential of mini-tomato hybrids obtained from one dwarf parent. Thus, our objective was to evaluate the agronomic performance of mini-tomato hybrids obtained by crossing a dwarf line (A) with normal lines with indeterminate (I), determinate (D) and semi-determinate (SD) growth habits. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse at the Estação Experimental de Hortaliças at the Universidade Federal de Uberlândia-UFU in Monte Carmelo, Brazil. The experiment was completely randomized with 17 treatments and four repetitions. The genetic material consisted of 16 experimental mini-tomato hybrids from the tomato germplasm bank at UFU, and a commercial hybrid (Mascot) as a control. The following variables were used to evaluate agronomic performance: fruit weight (g); number of fruits plant ; stem diameter (mm); distance between first bunch and soil (cm); internode length (cm) and total soluble solids (°Brix). The growth habit of the parents influenced the performance of the hybrids. In general, the mini-tomato hybrids from dwarf lines differed from the control with respect to all variables except number of fruits plant -1 , number of fruits bunch -1 and stem diameter. On average, hybrids from dwarf lines showed higher productivity (20%), shorter internodes (11%) and a shorter distance between the first bunch and the ground (30%), relative to the control. Using dwarf lines to obtain mini-tomato hybrids was shown to be viable since the hybrids demonstrated better agronomic performance.
