Inheritance of the force of fruit putting out (separation) from pedicel Avdeyev Y . I . 1 , Kigashpaeva O . P . 2 , Ivanova L . M . 2 , and Avdeyev A . Y . 2 1 Astrakhan State University . 2 All - Russian Scientific Institute of Irrigative Vegetable and Melon Growing . For study of the inheritance of the force of fruit putting out were taken contrastive parents - Vkusny - j, U, o (green back on the fruit base, plumy - type fruit form) and Volganin - j, u, O (without green back, round fruit) . Both parents have jointless pedicels (gene j) that gives possibility to determine the force of fruit putting out once from plant with dynamometer having the special fixing seizure for fruit . In P 1 - P 2 - F 1 from 9 to 20 plants, and in F 2 - 92 plants were evaluated . Every plant was estimated by 10 fruits and average forces of putting out for all individual plants were calculated . After that all variability of plants by force of fruit putting out (P 1 - P 2 - F 1 - F 2 ) we divided by 10 classes and determined the frequency distribution for the parents and F 1 - F 2 hybrids . The parents were differed by borders of varying of trait . Their average data of force differed almost in 2 times (0 . 84 and 1 . 56 kg) (Table 1) . In F 1 hybrid the intermediate inheritance of trait was observed . Comparing of borders of varying of the trait of parents and hybrids we determined the number of F 2 plants with weak force of putting out (P 1 - type) and the number of rest plants . The number of plants with weak force, similar to P 1 , was 16 and its relation to the rest plants 16:76 . This segregation corresponds to monogenic 23:69 under 0 . 10>P>0 . 05; X 2 =2 . 84 . In accordance with rules of genetic nomenclature the symbol fpo for monogene of weak force of fruit putting out it is proposed . Its allelic gene, determining more force of putting out in the Volganin j variety, may be designated as fpo - 1 . Analogical monogenes of force of fruit putting out from plant in the cucumber crop were earlier already revealed (Avdeyev Y . I . , 1994) . In our experiments with tomato some traits of every F 2 plant were described . The study showed that there is not visible difference by force of putting out between F 2 - plants with u - gene and plants with U - gene (1 . 39 kg against 1 . 31 kg; difference 1 . 06 times), but considerable difference between F 2 plants distinguished by fruit form is manifested . Plants with plumy - type form of fruits had strength of putting out 1 . 33 times less than the rest group of plants (1 . 07 against 1 . 42 kg) . Similarly, considerable difference between such groups of plants in the study of F 2 (VM - 93 x Slivovidny Shtambovy) was seen (1 . 49 times) . The comparing of the average forces of fruit putting out in groups of F 2 - plants, differed by genotypes, showed differences 1 . 08 (d + - plants : d - plants), 1 . 01 (u : U) and 1 . 07 (j - 2 : j + ) times . From experiments we made conclusion, that the main gene, controlling the weak force of fruit putting out from pedicel, is connected with gene "o" - plumy - type (ovate) form fruit . Small genes with forces of influence on trait 3,5 - 7 times less than the main genes (fpo, fpo - 1) are connected with genes d, j - 2 and "u" (in some varieties) and may be with others . They cause of some level of transgression of the trait in F 2 - plants . The genetic analysis of the crossing over between genes fpo (fpo - 1) and o (O) was carried out . The frequency of recombination with usual method was calculated
