Abstract 

Lycopersicon hirsutum G1.1560 is a wild accession of tomato that shows resistance to Oidium lycopersicum, a frequently occurring tomato powdery mildew. This resistance is largely controlled by an incompletely dominant gene Ol-1 near the Aps-1 locus in the vicinity of the resistance genes Mi and Cf-2/Cf-5. Using a new F2 population (n=150) segregating for resistance, we mapped the Ol-1 gene more accurately to a location between the RFLP markers TG153 and TG164. Furthermore, in saturating the Ol-1 region with more molecular markers using bulked segregant analysis, we were able to identify five RAPDs associated with the resistance. These RAPDs were then sequenced and converted into SCAR markers: SCAB01 and SCAF10 were L. hirsutum-specific; SCAE16, SCAG11 and SCAK16 were L. esculentum-specific. By linkage analysis a dense integrated map comprising RFLP and SCAR markers near Ol-1 was obtained. This will facilitate a map-based cloning approach for Ol-1 and marker-assisted selection for powdery mildew resistance in tomato breeding.
