  • TOMATO PLANTS WITH RESISTANCE TO MI-1 RESISTANCE-BREAKING ROOT-KNOT NEMATODES
    Publication number: 20230250446
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides cultivated tomato plants exhibiting increased resistance to Mi-1 resistance-breaking root-knot nematodes. Such plants comprise novel recombinant chromosomal segments comprising alleles associated with disease resistance from Solanum pimpinellifolium on chromosome 1 and/or chromosome 6. In certain aspects, compositions and methods for producing, breeding, detecting, and selecting plants or germplasm with an increased disease resistance phenotype are provided.
    Type: Application

  • Melon plants with improved traits
    Patent number: 10316328
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides melon plants exhibiting resistance to powdery mildew, aphids, and cucumber vein yellowing virus (CVYV). In certain embodiments, the invention provides melon plants with powdery mildew, aphid, and CVYV resistance loci located in cis linkage on chromosome 5. 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.
