Notes:
Among 146 accessions of Lycopersicon pimpinellifolium, 132 of L. esculentum var. cerasiforme and 53 of L. peruvianum screened for resistance to powdery mildew, caused by Oidium lycopersici, a wide variation in reactions was found. Two plants of L. esculentum var. cerasiforme accession LA-1230 were resistant. One resistant symptomless plant of accession LA-1230, designated LC-95, produced homozygous resistant progenies. LC-95 was crossed with cv. Marmande (susceptible parent) and F1, F2 and backcrosses to the resistant and the susceptible parents were derived. These genotypes were grown in glasshouses at 23°C and 95–100% RH and inoculated with O. lycopersici. The F1 plants were susceptible. F2 and backcross segregations fitted the hypothesis of a single recessive gene which is here designated ol-2.
