Abstract: A method for producing cucumber plants which are resistant to cucumber closteroviruses. The method comprises the steps of providing a Cucumis sativus plant which contains alleles that confer resistance to the closteroviruses defined by two QTLs, crossing said C. sativus plant with C. sativus culture breeding material, collecting the seeds resulting from said cross, regenerating the seeds into plants, evaluating the plants for resistance to the closteroviruses, and identifying and selecting resistant plants. Further, a resistant cucumber plant produced by the method as well as fruit or seed produced by said plant.

Abstract: A cultivated tomato plant having a genome including an introgression derived from a green-fruited tomato, the green-fruited tomato being characterized by fruits having a brix value above 5 brix units, the introgression including a portion of chromosome 9 of the green-fruited tomato, the portion extending telomerically to a point so as to exclude from the portion an allele of the green-fruited tomato being responsible for an undesired trait selected from the group consisting of higher percent green fruit yield and longer internodes characterizing the green-fruited tomato as is compared to the cultivated tomato plant, the introgression inherently increasing by at least 6% a brix value characterizing fruits of the cultivated tomato plant as is compared to a nearly isogenic tomato plant lacking the introgression.
