RFLP Marker Linked to Gene for Sucrose Accumulation in Tomato Fruits

E = L. esculentum parent

C = L. chmielewskii parent

genomic Southern hybridization

of sexual progeny with probe TG102

S = sucrose accumulation in fruits

Progeny that inherited only the

"C marker" accumulate sucrose

(recessive trait), while heterozygotes

and plants that inherited only the

"E marker" accumulate hexose in

their fruits.
