Abstract

DNA-DNA in situ hybridization will be used to develop and improve the genome analysis of natural and genetically manipulated Lycopersicon species, their somatic hybrids and sexual progeny. The aims are 1. To investigate genome organisation, genome interaction and gene transfer efficiency in the aforementioned genotypes; 2. To identify markers for individual chromosomes of Lycopersicon species, and to use such markers to locate chromosomal insertion points to introduced genes in transgenic plants and their somatic hybrid derivatives. The results will benefit plant breeding strategies and contribute to fundamental studies of genome evolution in Lycopersicon. The project also offers a unique opportunity to examine genome interaction and the restoration of equilibrium in the nuclei of wide hybrid combinations.
