Three resistant accessions: L. hirsutum LA1775, L. pennellii LA716, L. chilense LA2747, and the susceptible breeding line A100, were crossed to develop F1, F2 and BC1 populations for genetic analysis of tomato resistance to Oidium lycopersicum Cooke & Massee, emend. Noordeloos & Loerakker, the causal agent of powdery mildew. The resistances in all the studied wild species of Lycopersicon were dominant, but controlled by different numbers of genes depending on the source of resistance. Two incompletely dominant genes control the resistance in L. hirsutum, but one major gene has a stronger expression than the second minor gene. L. pennellii carries three cumulative dominant genes. The resistance of L. chilense is governed by one partially dominant gene that is less effective than the resistance genes of L. hirsutum.

Previously, we have reported a T-DNA tagged mutant (TAG_009) of Arabidopsis thaliana exhibiting a significant sensitivity to biotic stresses. We have also cloned and analyzed the tagged gene At5g46050. Based on bioinformatic and molecular characterization, we proposed that At5g46050 is involved in the transport of peptides participating in plant defense against biotic stresses. To provide further evidence for supporting our proposal, this time we exposed this mutant to Fusarium culmorum, a potential fungal pathogen. Besides TAG_009 line, in our investigations we included two SALK insertion mutants (SALK_003119 and SALK_145209), two wild-type ecotypes (WT_C24 and WT_Col-0) and an additional T-DNA tagged mutant (TAG_197-6) of A. thaliana. We have found that the highest degree of leaf damage was exhibited by TAG_009 line (damage score 4.37), whereas the lowest was observed in WT_Col-0 ecotype (damage score 3.43). The highest rate of mortality after eight weeks of inoculation with F. culmorum was also observed in TAG_009 line (85.24%), while the lowest was in WT_Col-0 line (37.22%). We have also found that plants of SALK_145209 line, despite being infected with Fusarium, produced the highest number of leaves (average 14.17 leaves per plant), whereas the lowest number of leaves was produced by plants of TAG_197-6 line ( average 9.5 leaves per plant). Statistical analyses showed that the differences between the T-DNA tagged line TAG_009 and WT_Col-0 were significant, whereas in comparison with wild-type control plants WT_C24, they were insignificant. Based on these results, we can conclude that the gene we have tagged by using T-DNA-mediated in vivo gene fusion is indeed involved in the plant defense against Fusarium infection.

The random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) method is based on random amplification of DNA fragments, via PCR, using short primers of arbitrary sequence. RAPD markers have been applied to construct linkage maps, to assess genetic diversity, to study taxonomic relationships, and to tag disease resistance genes in plants. RAPD markers linked to a resistance gene can be identified using bulked segregant analysis (BSA), recombinant inbred lines (RILs) or near-isogenic lines (NILs). More reliable and specific PCR-based markers known as sequence-characterized amplified region (SCAR) and allele-specific associated primer (ASAP) were developed. There are several examples of the application of these DNA marker systems in marker-assisted plant breeding.
