In the frame of "GenoPom" PON-MIUR project, we have
began a study of tomato ionome in order to identify the contribution of specific chromosome and
part of them on the ionome. For this purpose, we have analysed by ICP-MS plants of an
introgression line (IL) population derived from the cross between Solanum lycopersicum cv. M82
and S. pennellii (Eshed and Zamir, 1995) grown under controlled environmental conditions.we report results derived from tomato whole fruits ionome analysis of 30 IL,
covering all 12 tomato chromosomes, along with the recurrent parent cv. M82. Among several
detected elements, the following ones have firstly been analysed: Ca, Fe, Cu, Zn and Se. Each
element concentration data were referred to cv. M82
