conventional backcross breeding procedure to transfer the dominant root-knot nematode resistance gene from a Scotch Bonnet accession into a classical Habanero-type background. The donor parent was PA-426 and the recurrent parent was PA-350. PA-426 is a M

incorporate the dominant root-knot nematode resistance gene ( N ) into the classical pimento-type “Perfection” genetic background ( Fig. 1 ) ( Fery and Dukes, 1996 ; Hare, 1957 ). The donor parent of the N resistance gene was ‘Mississippi Nemaheart’ and the

al., 1994 ; Lawrence et al., 1986 ), there is a lack of information on how infection affects RSA in either susceptible or resistant genotypes. Thus, it is important to understand the relationship between RSA and nematode resistance in sweetpotato

commercial hybrid, ‘Tygress’. ‘Tygress’ contains a very large wild-species introgression (≈30 Mb) on chromosome 6—which couples the S. peruvianum nematode-resistance introgression ( Mi gene) together with the S. chilense begomovirus

for root knot nematode resistance and the I-3 gene for fusarium wilt race 3 resistance. Replicated plots of the F 3 generation were grown in two growers’ fields in coastal South Carolina in 2001 under conditions of heavy natural infection by TSWV to

3 recombinant inbred line (RIL) developed from the commercial hybrid, Tygress. This hybrid is heterozygous for a very large wild-species introgression (≈30 Mb) on chromosome 6, which resulted from recombining nematode resistance ( Mi ) with
