Abstract
The necrotrophic fungus Alternaria alternata f.sp. lycopersici produces AAL toxins that cause necrosis in tomato tissues with high specificity. Resistance or susceptibility of tomato to the fungus and insensitivity or sensitivity to AAL toxins are determined by a single locus, Asc. In order to investigate further the specificity of the host-fungus interaction, 200 species of Solanaceae were tested for their sensitivity to AAL toxins T
