Abstract

Tomato cultivars Nematex and Rutgers show different levels of resistance to root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid and White) infection. A method based on the number of galls per unit length of root is used to determine the low and high levels of resistance, and, based on this, the mode of inheritance of such resistance levels. High level of resistance of cv. Nematex is controlled by the resistance gene LMiR1 and the low level of resistance of cv. Rutgers by its allele [Formula: see text].
