In the course of our investigations of resistance of different wild species and interspecific crosses to both races (o and 1) of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici, we found resistance in Solanum lycopersicoides. All tested plants of this species showed resistance to race 0 and 1 of the fungus. Solanum lycopersicoides can be crossed with some representatives of Lycopersicon but F1 hybrids are sterile. To obtain crosses with cultivated tomato, it is possible to use Solanum pennellii as a "bridge" (Clerjeau, Laterrot, Pitrat, 1980).
