FORL resistance in Tm - 2 and Tm - 2 2 lines from the TGRC stock . Laterrot H . , Moretti A . Station d'Amelioration des Plantes Maraicheres B . P . 94 - 84143 MONTFAVET Cedex, France . The linkage between the Fr1 allele controlling the Fusarium oxysporum f . sp . radicis lycopersici (= FORL) resistance with the Tm - 2 or Tm - 2 2 allele for TMV resistance is frequent (Laterrot and Couteaudier, 1989 . TGC Report 39 p 21) . Many lines and commercial F 1 , hybrids resistant to FORL have been found amoung the varieties carrying the Tm - 2 2 allele . Recently we have tested the 10 accessions carrying the Tm - 2 or Tm - 2 2 alleles from the stock of the TGRC listed by Rick and Chetelat in TGC Report 44: 32 - 44 (1994) . The test was realized with a french isolate of FORL, with 18 days - old plantlets . Five lines showing FORL resistance response were tested a second time using a second sample of seeds received like the first one from C . M . Rick . There was a problem of seed germination with the accession LA 3275 carrying Tm - 2 2 linked to ah . Only one plant was obtained, this plant was FORL resistant It is know that ah sometimes causes a poor seed germination (Laterrot, 1973 . TGC Report 23 p 24) . The results of the 2 tests are presented in the table 1 . Four accessions resistant to TMV are also resistant to FORL . These lines are carrying the following alleles of TMV resistance LA 1791: Tm - 2 2 allele LA 3270: Tm - 2 allele linked to nv LA 3273: Tm - 2 2 allele   LA 3292: Tm - 2 allele Results are uncertain with LA 3275 (only I plant ) . The line LA 3297 is in segregation for the Fr1 allele .
