  • Tomato plants with improved disease resistance
    Patent number: 10368508
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides tomato plants exhibiting resistance to tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) and lacking unfavorable linked traits such as necrosis. Such plants may comprise novel introgressed genomic regions associated with disease resistance from S. chilense. In certain aspects, compositions, including novel polymorphic markers and methods for producing, breeding, identifying, and selecting plants or germplasm with a disease resistance phenotype are provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 13, 2015
    Date of Patent: August 6, 2019
    Assignee: Seminis Vegetable Seeds, Inc.
    Inventors: Bart Willem Brugmans, Derek R. Drost, Albert Grit, Jacobus Hoogstraten, Maria Fernanda Rodriguez
  • TOMATO PLANTS WITH IMPROVED TRAITS
    Publication number: 20190233837
    Abstract: Tomato plants exhibiting fruit with increased BRIX content are provided, together with methods of producing, identifying, or selecting plants or germplasm with an increased BRIX phenotype and lacking undesirable leaf necrosis. Such plants include tomato plants comprising introgressed genomic regions conferring increased BRIX without necrosis. Compositions, including novel polymorphic markers for detecting plants comprising introgressed alleles providing increased BRIX without necrosis, are further provided.

  • Methods and compositions for resistance in spinach
    Patent number: 10039258
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides for unique spinach plants with broad-spectrum resistance to downy mildew and their progeny. Such plants may comprise an introgressed QTL associated with the broad-spectrum resistance to downy mildew. In certain aspects, compositions, including distinct polymorphic molecular markers, and methods for producing, using, identifying, selecting, and the like of plants or germplasm with resistance to downy mildew are provided.
