Abstract excerpt
Carbon isotope composition (delta(13)C) and leaf water-use efficiency vary in concert in C3 plants, making delta(13)C useful as a proxy for plant water-use efficiency. A QTL for delta(13)C was detected in the Solanum pennellii chromosome fragment of IL5-4, an introgression line with S. lycopersicum cv. M82 background. M82 and IL 5-4 were crossed, and RFLP markers in the target region converted to PCR-based...
