    La tecnica agronomica più diffusa per ottenere una soddisfacente allegagione del pomodoro in condizioni climatiche sfavorevoli consiste nell’ indurre lo sviluppo di frutti partenocarpici trattando i fiori con sostanze fitoregoloatrici auxino-simili e/o con altri regolatori di crescita come ad esempio le gibberelline. La partenocarpia è definita in questo caso artificiale perché ottenuta tramite l’uso di sostanze chimiche applicate al fiore. La partenocarpia può essere ottenuta anche per via genetica. Allo stato attuale l’uso dell’ingegneria genetica per produrre cultivar partenocarpiche ha dimostrato maggiori potenzialità rispetto alle tecniche classiche di breeding. Infatti è stato dimostrato che manipolando, tramite tecniche genetiche, l’azione di due ormoni vegetali, auxina e gibberelline, a vari livelli , cioè agendo sulla sintesi, oppure sulla sensibilità delle piante agli ormoni o ancora sulle vie di traduzione del segnale ormonale, è possibile ottenere lo sviluppo partenocarpico del frutto

    Inheritance of Fusarium wilt resistance introgfressed from Solanum aethiopicum Gilo and Aculeatum groups into cultivated eggplant (S. melongena) and development of assiciated PCR-based markers

    The two eggplant relatives Solanum aethiopicum gr. Gilo and Solanum aethiopicum gr. Aculeatum (=Solanum integrifolium) carry resistance to the fungal wilt disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melongenae, a worldwide soil-borne disease of eggplant. To introgress the resistance trait into cultivated eggplant, the tetraploid somatic hybrids S. melongena + S. aethiopicum and S. melongena + S. integrifolium were used. An inheritance study of the resistance was performed on advanced anther culture-derived androgenetic backcross progenies from the two somatic hybrids. The segregation fitted a 3 resistant (R): 1 susceptible (S) ratio in the selfed populations and a 1R:1S ratio in the backcross progenies for the trait derived from S. aethiopicum and S. integrifolium. These ratios are consistent with a single gene, which we designated as Rfo-sa1, controlling the resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melongenae. The allelic relationship between the resistance genes from S. aethiopicum and S. integrifolium indicate that these two genes are alleles of the same locus. Bulked Segregant Analysis (BSA) was performed with RAPD markers on the BC3/BC5 resistant advanced backcross progenies, and three RAPD markers associated with the resistance trait were identified. Cleaved Amplified Polymorphic Sequences (CAPSs) were subsequently obtained on the basis of the amplicon sequences. The evaluation of the efficiency of these markers in predicting the resistant phenotype in segregating progenies revealed that they represent useful tools for indirect selection of Fusarium resistance in eggplant
