Popis: Twenty-seven accessions of four Lycopersicon species were evaluated for branched broomrape (Orobanche ramosa L.) resistance in a greenhouse pot experiment during 1988. The highest levels of resistance were found in accessions LA 372 and LA 1333 from L. peruvianum (L.) Mill.; LA 1380, LA 1599, LA 1581, and LA 1478 from L. pimpinellifolium Mill.; and LA 1311, LA 1228, and LA 1268 from L. esculentum var. cerasiforme. No appreciable levels of resistance were found among L. hirsutum Humb. and Bonpl. accessions. Percent of tomato plants with O. ramosa flower shoots could be used as a screening method for rapid testing of large collections of tomato germplasm.
