Summary
The transmission rate of trisomy was determined for two primary trisomic types, triplo-1 and triplo-3, of the self-incompatible species Lycopersicum peruvianum. Chromosome counts in somatic metaphases of root-tip squashes from 112 progeny plants showed that 8 individuals (7.2 %) were trisomic and 104 (92.8%) were diploid. The average frequency of transmission approximated 2.6% in triplo-1 and 8.6% in triplo-3. Data are presented on the karyotype and the morphological features of the 8 trisomics detected in the progenies of triplo-1 and triplo-3 and the various factors affecting the transmission rate of trisomy are discussed.
The transmission rate of trisomy was also determined for the trisomic plant 269 which displayed a complete deletion of the satellited part of chromosome 2 and was characterized by ovate fruits. Out of 18 progeny plants analysed, 8 (44.4%) were trisomic and 10 (55.6%) were diploid. Cytological and morphological analyses of the 8 trisomic individuals revealed that only two of them (11.1 %) resembled the parental trisomic. A number of diploid and trisomic progenies exhibited a partial or a complete deletion of the satellited segment of chromosome 2.
