Retention of resistance to the root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita, by Lycopersicon plants reproduced through tissue culture

Abstract

Lycopersicon glandulosum, L. peruvianum and L. esculentum plants reproduced adventitiously from cotyledon explants retained their resistance to the root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita. This reaffirms the utility of tissue cultures for screening and isolating nematode-resistant variants.
