Analysis of restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers in tomato plants segregating for resistance to the fungus Cladosporium fulvum was used to localize the resistance genes Cf-2 and Cf-5 to the same region of chromosome 6. This region, between GP79 and Aps-1, is the same as that reported for the Mi gene, which confers resistance to root-knot nematodes (meloidogyne spp.). Recombination values based on F2 populations from crosses between near-isogenic lines of L. esculentum 'Moneymaker' carrying Cf-2 or Cf-5 and Lycopersicon pennellii, indicate that this region occupies 4-5 centiMorgans (cM). However, in F2 populations from crosses between the L. esculentum stock LA1190 carrying yv and these lines, this value is 1-2 cM. The Cf-2 gene, introduced into L. esculentum from L. pimpinellifolium, is on an introgressed segment that extends from a point distal to GP79 to a point between TG232 and H2D1. The origin of Cf-5 was found to be L. esculentum var. cerasiforme rather than L. pimpinellifolium as previously reported. No RFLP markers and only one RAPD marker showed a polymorphism between Moneymaker and the near-isogenic line carrying Cf-5.

D010935	Plant Diseases	Diseases of plants.	Disease, Plant,Diseases, Plant,Plant Disease
D010944	Plants	Multicellular, eukaryotic life forms of kingdom Plantae. Plants acquired chloroplasts by direct endosymbiosis of CYANOBACTERIA. They are characterized by a mainly photosynthetic mode of nutrition; essentially unlimited growth at localized regions of cell divisions (MERISTEMS); cellulose within cells providing rigidity; the absence of organs of locomotion; absence of nervous and sensory systems; and an alternation of haploid and diploid generations. It is a non-taxonomical term most often referring to LAND PLANTS. In broad sense it includes RHODOPHYTA and GLAUCOPHYTA along with VIRIDIPLANTAE.	Plant
D011995	Recombination, Genetic	Production of new arrangements of DNA by various mechanisms such as assortment and segregation, CROSSING OVER; GENE CONVERSION; GENETIC TRANSFORMATION; GENETIC CONJUGATION; GENETIC TRANSDUCTION; or mixed infection of viruses.

D012150	Polymorphism, Restriction Fragment Length	Variation occurring within a species in the presence or length of DNA fragment generated by a specific endonuclease at a specific site in the genome. Such variations are generated by mutations that create or abolish recognition sites for these enzymes or change the length of the fragment.
