Abstract
A RAPD marker, linked to the Tm-2agene engendering TMV resistance in tomatoes, was identified. The validity of the RAPD marker was corroborated by screening several tomato varieties, and correctly identifying those which carried Tm-2a, as well as by F2 segregation analysis. All tested resistant varieties descending from a common Lycopersicon peruvianum/esculentum ancestor, LA1791, exhibited this marker.
