Abstract

Tobacco cyst nematode (TCN) Globodera tabacum is able to develop and reproduce on tomato plants and eggplants. As a consequence, plants with a heavy infestation show stunted growth. The most effective and environmentally benign method for managing plant nematodes is through exploitation of host resistance. However, comparatively little information is available on the relative rates of reproduction of TCN on different tomato cultivars and resistance to TCN has not been studied in detail. In the present study, we compared the response of several tomato cultivars to inoculation with TCN in order to identify those with greatest resistance. As a result, five new TCN-resistant tomato cultivars, ‘Doctor-K’, ‘Sugar-Lamp’ ‘Carol-10’, ‘Carol-Queen’, and ‘Chelsea-mini’, were identified.
