Abstract

The aim of this work was to estimate genetic variability for in vitro culture response of recombinant inbred lines (RILs) of the genus Lycopersicon. The callus percentage (C), the regeneration percentage (R) and the productivity rate (PR) were evaluated 45 d after culture initiation in a set of 16 elite tomato RILs and their parents. The narrow sense heritability (h 2) values were 0.38 ± 0.04 for C, 0.46 ± 0.04 for R, and 0.28 ± 0.03 for R, while the genetic correlation (r g ) values were −0.96 ± 0.07 between C and R, 0.81 ± 0.14 between PR and R, and −0.79 ± 0.16 between PR and C. Three AFLP markers associated to the in vitro traits were identified.
