Bonnema, A.B. | Melzer, J.M. | O'Connell, M.A.
Cybrids have been regenerated following protoplast fusion of iodoacetamide-treated leaf mesophyll cells of Lycopersicon esculentum cv UC82 and gamma-irradiated cell suspensions of L. pennellii, LA716. The cybrids were recovered in the regenerant population at a frequency of 19%, no selection pressure was applied for the persistence of the donor cytoplasm. The nuclear genotype of ten cybrids was characterized extensively using isozyme markers, cDNA-based restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs), and the morphology of the plants. No nuclear genetic information from L. pennellii was detected in the cybrids. The organellar genotype of the cybrids was determined using cloned probes and species-specific RFLPs. All the cybrids had inherited the tomato chloroplast genome and had varying amounts of L. pennellii mitochondrial DNA. The cybrids all had a diploid chromosome number of 24, produced pollen, and set seed.
