| High sucrose concentration in fruit of Lycopersicon chmielewskii is governed by the recessive sucrose accumulator gene (sucr) that is situated in the pericentromeric region of chromosome 3. The sucr gene was introgressed into the genetic background of the hexose-accumulating cultivated tomato (L. esculentum cv 'Hunt 100') by marker-assisted selection using tightly linked RFLP markers and a tomato acid invertase cDNA as probes for sucr. RFLP mapping indicated that the segment containing sucr comprised over 43.2 cM in the BC-1F-2 generation, representing over one-third of the total length of chromosome 3. By selecting for crossovers between sucr and the flanking visual marker r (yellow fruit flesh) and RFLP marker TG288, we were able to reduce the size of the sucr introgression fragment to 0.8-7.1 cM by the BC-5 generation. Smaller recombinant fragments were not obtained despite screening a large BC-6F-2 population. The smallest sucr introgression reduced recombination between the flanking visual markers sy (sunny) and bls (baby lea syndrome) by 38%. To facilitate future introgression and recombination experiments, a PCR-based test for the sucr gene was developed using primers specific to the tomato invertase gene. This assay takes advantage of a small deletion that maps to the second intron of the L. chmielewskii invertase gene. The assay detected significant allelic variation both within and between hexose- and sucrose-accumulating Lycopersicon spp.
