Evaluación de somaclones de tomate (Solanum lycopersicum L.) obtenidos a partir del cv. ´Cuba C-2781’ mediante las técnicas de selección in vitro y variación somaclonal
Main Article Content
Abstract
The present work was carried out with the objective to evaluate, in field, the behaviour to early blight and the agronomics and morphologic characteristics to eighteen somaclones of tomato obtained by in vitro selection from cv. ‘Cuba C- 2781’ in the Tissue Culture Laboratory of INIFAT. The experiment was conducted in Organopónico ‘Van Troi’ from Boyeros, Ciudad de La Habana during September/05 to February/06. There were evaluated 8 characters and with the results were realized a principal components analysis (ACP) and a cluster analysis using a Euclidean distance metric by StatGraphics Program version 5,0. The ACP showed that 3 components have extracted the 79,3 % of the variability and the variables fruit average weight, total of fruit number y soluble solid content showed the higher weights by components (1, 2 y 3 respectively). Cluster analysis created 3 clusters, the cluster I with 8 members (42,1 %), the cluster II with 7 members (36,8 %) and the cluster III with 4 members (21,1 %) among them the original cultivar ‘Cuba C- 2781’ (control). The results indicated that was possible to obtaine 15 somaclones (78,93 %) different of original cultivar. It demonstrated the effectively of biotechnological techniques in order to induce a new genetic variability in this specie.
