Summary

Inheritance of resistance to leaf curl disease in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) was studied in F1F2 and F3 generations in a cross between a cultivated tomato variety and a related wild species (L. pimpinellifolium). The wild species carries a dominant factor for resistance. Other useful variation was also observed in plant size, leaf characters and fruit size. The implications of these variabilities for tomato improvement are briefly discussed.
