Screening of Mutant Lines and Varieties/Hybrids of Tomato (<i>Solanum lycopersicum</i>) for Resistance to the Northern Root-Knot Nematode <i>Meloidogyne hapla</i> by Svetlana Nikolaevna Nekoval, Zhanneta Zaurovna Tukhuzheva, Arina Konstantinovna Churikova, Valentin Valentinovich Ivanov, Oksana Aleksandrovna Maskalenko

“…However, the phenotypic resistance of some lines, such as Volgogradets, which do not contain a marker for the <i>Mi-1.2</i> gene, indicates a polygenic nature of resistance, alternative genetic mechanisms, or the possible influence of epigenetic mechanisms. The obtained data highlight the potential of using the identified resistant genotypes in breeding programs and the need for further studies of the molecular mechanisms of resistance, including the search for new markers specific to <i>M. hapla</i>, to develop effective strategies for tomato protection in sustainable agriculture.…”
