Abstract
Drought strongly limits tomato yield, and the introgression of genes from wild tomatoes is a powerful tool to obtain drought-tolerant progenies. The aim of this study was to select drought-tolerant transgressive progeny obtained from interspecific crosses between drought-susceptible tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum) × drought-tolerant wild species (Solanum pennellii) under in vitro and greenhouse conditions. BC1F2 populations were advanced from backcrosses between F1 × Jumbo AG-592 (cultivar for fresh consumption) and F1 × BRS Tospodoro (cultivar for industrial processing). For this, BC1F2 seeds were germinated in vitro and evaluated for tolerance to drought. Then, eight genotypes from each BC1F2 were selected and submitted to 14 days of drought (0% of water supply) or well-watered (100% of water supply) in greenhouse conditions and evaluated for growth, water balance and gas exchanges. Using in vitro assays with mannitol-induced drought proved to be effective for the initial screening of drought-tolerant BC1F2 plants, while greenhouse experiments showed that drought decreased photosynthesis in all genotypes, but almost all the BC1F2 progenies had greater photosynthetic capacity, water balance and growth than their commercial parents. As a result, we selected six progenies for fresh consumption and six progenies for industrial processing with increased drought tolerance.
