Generation of gamma irradiation-induced mutant lines of the miniature tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) cultivar 'Micro-Tom'

Abstract: One direct way to identify a gene and its function is a forward genetic approach based on mutation analyses. To accumulate genetic resources for breeding and functional genomics in the tomato, we generated 6,347 lines of an M 2 population with 300 Gy of gamma-ray irradiation in the inbred miniature dwarf variety 'Micro-Tom.' In total, 6,301 M 2 lines were screened based on morphological alteration and brix-aberration, and 237 lines were selected as mutant candidates at the first screening. Subsequent screening… Show more

“…Outra forma de expressar mutantes em plantas anãs é através da produção de paredes celulares anormais (REITER; CHAPPLE, SOMERVILLE, 1993) ou defeitos na célula de expansão/alongamento (TAKAHASHI et al, 1995). Ressalta-se no presente estudo que o genótipo anão utilizado não foi obtido via indução por raios gama (MATSUKURA et al, 2007). O genótipo em estudo se trata de uma planta atípica identificada ao acaso em uma população de ocorrência espontânea.…”

“…Our group (University of Tsukuba) developed 3845 EMS mutagenized M 2 families (Watanabe et al, 2007) and 6422 gamma-ray-irradiated M 2 families (Matsukura et al, 2007) (Figs. 2A, 3A, and 3G).…”

“…For this purpose, we present a case study of selection for tolerance to the heavy metal cadmium, in plants of the tomato cultivar Micro-Tom (Solanum lycopersicum L.), widely used as model plant (Meissner et al 1997) in numerous studies on genetics (Lima et al 2004, Butelli et al 2008, physiology , Monteiro et al 2011, Carvalho et al 2013, biochemistry of plants (Gratão et al 2008, and on ultrastructural changes (Vitória et al 2003, Gratão et al 2009). This tomato cultivar has several advantages, such as a low plant height (about 15 cm) and a short life cycle (80-90 days from sowing to harvest), making it a very suitable model plant for mutagenesis studies aimed at selecting new mutants (Matsukura et al 2007, Watanabe et al 2007, Pino-Nunes et al 2009). We believe that the methodology proposed here is fast and effective due to the fact that selection occurs in the seedling stage, few days after germination, allowing the evaluation of a large number of plants per area unit.…”
