Triple test cross analysis of tomato leaf curl virus resistance in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.)
Main Article Content
Abstract
Tomato Leaf Curl Virus (ToLV) is a major viral disease limiting the cultivation and production of tomato during summer in South India and autumn in North India causing substantial yield loss besides affecting the quality of fruits (1). In a survey of 174 farmers in Karnataka state conducted during 1997, 89% stated that ToLCV was a serious problem, particularly in the hot season (Warburton et aI., unpublished report). Infection in early crop growth stages results in the highest yield losses (2). The present study has been undertaken to analyse the inheritance pattern of ToLCV resistance using triple test cross analysis which allows for the unambiguous testing of additive, dominance and epistatic genetic variations (3).
