ABSTRACT

RESUMEN En el mejoramiento del tomate (Solanum lycopersicum L.) se ha logrado un incremento significativo para el rendimiento y otras características productivas en un período corto de tiempo. Como consecuencia se redujo notablemente la diversidad genética. Si bien el germoplasma silvestre se ha utilizado principalmente como fuente de genes de resistencia para enfermedades y plagas, nuestro grupo inició en la década de 1990, un programa de mejoramiento genético en tomate para mejorar la calidad del fruto con especial énfasis en incrementar la vida poscosecha y también ampliar la variabilidad genética con la incorporación de estos genes al gran cultivo. Hemos desarrollado diferentes poblaciones a partir del cruzamiento interespecífico entre el cultivar argentino Caimanta de S. lycopersicum y la accesión LA0722 de S. pimpinellifolium L. Mediante la generación de cruzamientos entre estos padres selectos y el posterior avance generacional de la selección se ha tratado de dilucidar las bases genéticas que definen la calidad del fruto. Para ello se integraron al programa de mejoramiento información obtenida de datos genómicos, posgenómicos y bioinformáticos. Al mismo tiempo hemos desarrollado cuatro nuevos cultivares con características de calidad de fruto superiores al ser comparados con híbridos comerciales. Para conservar y estudiar la diversidad del cultivo también estamos desarrollado una colección de germoplasma que en la actualidad cuenta con 162 genotipos de tomate de diferentes especies y orígenes. Además, se ha iniciado la transferencia directa de plantines a huertas urbanas y periurbanas para favorecer el acceso a semillas de estos cultivares desarrollados en instituciones públicas.


ABSTRACT The genetic improvement of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) has achieved an increase for yield and other agronomic traits in a short period of time. As a consequence, genetic diversity has been notably reduced. Wild germplasm has been mostly used as a source of resistance genes for diseases and pests. Our group started in the 1990' a breeding program in tomato for improving fruit quality, with special emphasis on increasing fruit shelf life and broadening the genetic variability with the incorporation of wild genes. We have developed different populations from the interspecific cross between the Argentine cultivar Caimanta of S. lycopersicum and the accession LA0722 of S. pimpinellifolium L. Through crosses between these selected parents and the subsequent generational selection advance, we attempted to elucidate the genetic bases that underlie tomato fruit quality. To do that, we use state-of-the-art technology available in the field of genetics and breeding programs, including genomic, post-genomic and bioinformatic data. At the same time, we have developed four new cultivars with improved fruit quality traits compared to commercial hybrids. To conserve and study the tomato diversity, we have developed a germplasm collection that currently contains 162 tomato genotypes from different species and origins. In addition, we have started a direct transfer of our cultivars to urban and peri-urban community orchards to facilitate them the access to genotypes that were developed in Argentine public institutions.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN En la producción de carne ovina en Argentina existe escasa tradición para la comercialización de reses de corderos pesados con bajo tenor de grasa. Un nuevo genotipo cuya marca registrada es Magrario (M) fue obtenido en el Campo Villarino de la Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias de la Universidad Nacional de Rosario (33º S, 61º O) por cruzas absorbentes de una raza tradicional en la zona, Ideal (I) (Polwarth), hacia la raza Texel (raza reconocida por producir reses magras). A partir de la población base de la tercera retrocruza se seleccionó a los machos por el Aumento Medio Diario relativo hasta los tres meses de edad y a las hembras por la fertilidad de sus madres. Se verificaron diferencias significativas en la composición de la res en lo referente a depósitos grasos de este nuevo genotipo respecto a la población fundadora I tanto en confinamiento posdestete durante dos meses como en condiciones de cría a campo. También se compararon en confinamiento corderos M con los de la raza Hampshire Down (HD) siendo los depósitos grasos significativamente superiores en esta última raza. También se analizaron cruzamientos de M con HD e I verificando un efecto semi-dominante del nuevo genotipo para reducir tenor de grasa en las cruzas. La reducción de grasa subcutánea en el Longissimus Dorsi de (MxHD) se redujo un 20%. Esta experiencia demostró que Magrario puede ser utilizado como progenitor en cruzamientos si se desea producir corderos con menores depósitos grasos en condiciones de suplementación posdestete.


ABSTRACT Generally there is poor tradition to produce and to commercialize heavy lean lamb carcasses. To achieve a better product for the ovine meat market Ideal (Polwarth) breed ewes were backcrossed to Texel breed rams (breed recognized to reduce carcass fat). Ideal breed (I) is one of the most ordinary breeds in Argentina. However, when their lambs are reared in feedlot conditions, a high fat content is found in their lamb carcasses. After three generations of backcrosses followed by a breeding program for increase male lamb weaning weight and female fertility a new genotype was obtained for the local ovine meat production systems. This new genotype registered as Magrario (M) was obtained at Villarino Field Station of UNR (Zavalla, Santa Fe, 33º S, 61º W). It was verify that M produced more lean meat than I breed under feet lot conditions. M rams were introduced in flocks of Hampshire Down (HD) breed to evaluate lamb crosses with lean meat. Genotype M was compared under feed lot conditions with HD lambs during two months in the post weaning. Also crosses (MxHD), (MxI) and (IxHD) were evaluated in the same conditions. At the end of the experiment ultrasonic methods were used to evaluate fat depot on Longissimus dorsi. The (MxHD) showed a reduction of 20% respecting to HD. These results suggested that M genotype could be a useful paternal genotype to reduce fat depots when the aim is to produce lamb crosses under feed lot conditions in a short period of time.

ABSTRACT

The effects of wild germplasm on tomato fruit shelf life have not yet been completely evaluated. Three different genotypes of Lycopersicon esculentum (a cultivated variety, a homozygote for nor and a homozygote for rin), LA1385 of L. esculentum var. cerasiforme, LA722 of L. pimpinellifolium, and 10 diallel hybrids were assayed. Mean values of fruit shelf life, weight, shape, and mean number of flowers per cluster were analyzed after Griffing (1956, Aust. J. Biology 9: 463-493), method 2, model 1. Both general and specific combining abilities (GCA and SCA) were significant for the four traits. Negative unidirectional dominance was detected for fruit weight and shelf life, while bidirectional dominance was detected for fruit shape and mean number of flowers per cluster. SCA was greater than GCA for shelf life, so nonadditive effects predominantly accounted for this trait. In the heterozygous state, rin had smaller mean effects than nor. Wild accessions were able to prolong shelf life per se, and in crosses to the cultivated variety. The cross between the homozygote for nor and LA722 yielded the longest shelf life among hybrids
