Abstract excerpt
Currently, the only genetic resistance against root-knot nematodes in the cultivated tomato Solanum lycopersicum (Lycopersicon esculentum) is due to the gene Mi-1. Another resistance gene, Mi-3, identified in the related wild species Solanum peruvianum (Lycopersicon peruvianum) confers resistance to nematodes that are virulent on tomato lines that carry Mi-1, and is effective at temperatures at which Mi-1 is not...
