Resistance genes to root-knot nematodes in tomato

Abstract

Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) are the most important pests of tomato. They cause galls on the roots of susceptible tomato plants. These galls prevent adequate water and nutrient uptake resulting in stunted growth, leaf yellowing, wilting and death during heavy infection. It is required that controlling of them for successful tomato growing. One of the best management tools in controlling root-knot nematodes is using resistant varieties. Mi-1 gene in tomato has been successfully used against Meloidogyne species including M. incognita, M. javanica and M. arenaria for a long time. Besides Mi-1 gene, different genes which confer resistance to Meloidogyne spp. in tomato have been reported. The review has proposed to present information about resistance genes to root-knot nematodes in tomato.

Domateste kök-ur nematodlarına dayanıklılık genleri

Abstract

Kök-ur nematodları (Meloidogyne spp.), domatesin en önemli zararlı gruplarındandır. Bu nematodlar, duyarlı domates bitkisinin köklerinde ur oluştururlar. Urlar, bitkinin topraktan su ve besin alımını engellediği için bitkinin sararmasına, solmasına ve yoğun enfeksiyonda ölmesine neden olurlar. Başarılı bir domates yetiştiriciliği için bu nematodlar ile mücadele yapılması gerekmektedir. Nematodların kontrolünde en önemli mücadele yöntemlerinden birisi dayanıklı çeşitlerin kullanılmasıdır. Domateste bulunan Mi-1 geni, uzun yıllardan beri, Meloidogyne incognita, M. javanica and M. arenaria türlerine karşı mücadelede başarılı bir şekilde kullanılmaktadır. Mi-1 geninin yanı sıra Meloidogyne spp.’ye dayanıklılık sağlayan farklı genlerin bulunduğu rapor edilmiştir. Bu derlemede, domateste kök-ur nematodlarına dayanıklılık sağlayan genler hakkında bilgi verilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
