Tomato fruit mold (Botrytis cinerea) resistance was tested in 41 different cultivars by puncture inoculating fruits (9 puchtures per fruit) , with 1 x 10^6^ spores/ml of the fungus. Scoring was done in humid chamber 48 and 96 hours after inoculation. The accession PI 119214 exhibited the lowest symptoms; fruits did not exhibit advance of the disease one week after inoculation (Table 1).
