Tomato chromosome 6: effect of alien chromosomal segments on recombinant frequencies
Abstract:
Variation in recombinant frequencies at two adjacent intervals on chromosome 6 of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) has been studied in seven lines that differ in the amount and origin of introgressed segments from wild species. These lines were all crossed to a genotype homozygous recessive for the markers tl, yv, and c, which define the centromere spanning region tl-yv and the long arm region yv-c. Recombinants were identified in large F2, populations consisting of over 30 000 plants in total. Application of molecular markers provided additional information on the distribution of crossover events within the centromere-containing interval tl-yv. A decrease in recombination at the marked intervals correlated with the presence of an alien segment. Suppression of recombination was up to sixfold in the centromere spanning interval tl-yv depending on the source and size of the introgression, and was restricted to the alien segments with no strong effect on the neighbouring intervals. Key words : recombinant frequency, Lycopersicon esculentum, morphological markers, introgressions, centromere.

The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...
