This study investigated the effects of ambient temperature and major quantitative trait loci (QTL) on bacterial wilt resistance in tomato. The results showed that 25 tomato varieties exhibited temperature-independent resistance, providing valuable resources for tomato breeding programs.
Bacterial wilt (Ralstonia solanacearum) is a devastating disease of cultivated tomato resulting in severe yield loss. Since chemicals are often ineffective in controlling this soil-borne pathogen, quantitative trait loci (QTL) conferring host resistance have been extensively explored. In this study, we investigated effects of ambient temperature and major QTL on bacterial wilt resistance in a collection of 50 tomato varieties. The five-week-old seedlings were inoculated using the race 1 (biovar 4 and phylotype I) strain of R. solanacearum and placed at growth chambers with three different temperatures (24 degrees C, 28 degrees C, and 36 degrees C). Disease severity was evaluated for seven days after inoculation using the 1-5 rating scales. Consistent bacterial wilt resistance was observed in 25 tomato varieties (R group) with the means of 1.16-1.44 for disease severity at all three temperatures. Similarly, 10 susceptible varieties with the means of 4.37-4.73 (S group) were temperature-independent. However, the other 15 varieties (R/S group) showed moderate levels of resistance at both 24 degrees C (1.84) and 28 degrees C (2.16), while they were highly susceptible with a mean of 4.20 at 36 degrees C. The temperature-dependent responses in the R/S group were supported by pairwise estimates of the Pearson correlation coefficients. Genotyping for three major QTL (Bwr-4, Bwr-6 and Bwr-12) found that 92% of varieties in the R group had >= two QTL and 40% of varieties in the R/S group had one or two QTL. This suggests that these QTL are important for stability of resistance against bacterial wilt at high ambient temperature. The resulting 25 varieties with temperature-independent resistance will be a useful resource to develop elite cultivars in tomato breeding programs.
