Abstract
Phytophthora capsici can induce severe economic losses in the tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) crop. However, broad-spectrum and phenotypically stable sources of resistance to this highly variable pathogen are not yet identified in Solanum (section Lycopersion) germplasm. We evaluated, in three bioassays, the reaction of Solanum (Lycopersicon) accessions against seven P. capsici isolates. All isolates across all bioassays induced severe symptoms in the susceptible control Capsicum annuum ‘Tico’. The Ralstonia solanacearum-resistant tomato ‘Hawaii-7996’ displayed superior levels of resistance to four isolates, whereas S. habrochaites ‘WIR-7924’ displayed resistance to five isolates. The resistant/susceptible reactions of the accessions were not coincident, indicating the presence of isolate-specific resistance factors as well as potential pathogen pathotypes. Large-spectrum genetic resistance to P. capsici isolates is essential for sustainable management of this pathogen. Hence, combining resistance factors from ‘Hawaii-7996’ and S. habrochaites ‘WIR-7924’ into a single cultivar would be a promising breeding strategy aiming to develop tomatoes with resistance to a wide array of P. capsici isolates.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Phytopathology publishes original and review articles on all scientific aspects of applied phytopathology in agricultural and horticultural crops. Preference is given to contributions improving our understanding of the biotic and abiotic determinants of plant diseases, including epidemics and damage potential, as a basis for innovative disease management, modelling and forecasting. This includes practical aspects and the development of methods for disease diagnosis as well as infection bioassays.
Studies at the population, organism, physiological, biochemical and molecular genetic level are welcome. The journal scope comprises the pathology and epidemiology of plant diseases caused by microbial pathogens, viruses and nematodes.
Accepted papers should advance our conceptual knowledge of plant diseases, rather than presenting descriptive or screening data unrelated to phytopathological mechanisms or functions. Results from unrepeated experimental conditions or data with no or inappropriate statistical processing will not be considered. Authors are encouraged to look at past issues to ensure adherence to the standards of the journal.
