1 June 29, 2009 Tomato Genetics and Breeding at Penn State An Overview Majid R. Foolad

2 OUTLINE Traits of Interest Genetic and Breeding Research Breeding Activities Fresh-market breeding lines Processing breeding lines

3 Major Traits of Interest Disease Resistance Early Blight Late Blight Fruit Quality Lycopene Other Traits Adaptation to NE conditions Yield Maturity (short and mid-season) Other traits

4 Early Blight (Alternaria solani and A. tomatophila)

5 Sources of EB Resistance in Tomato Genetic sources of resistance identified mainly in wild species S. habrochaites and S. pimpinellifolium Used a few accessions for genetics and breeding research Filial populations BC populations RIL populations

6 Nature of EB Resistance Does not follow the gene-for-gene interaction model No major resistance gene identified No pathogen race specificity identified It exhibits quantitative inheritance Low-to-moderate heritability Multiple genetic factors
