Abstract: Hybrid tomato variety ‘H2021’ is described. The tomato variety is a ground-culture hybrid processing tomato variety suitable for machine harvest and is adaptable to humid climactic conditions of regions such as the Northeastern United States. It is a second early season variety with resistance to verticillium wilt race 1, fusarium wilt races 1 and 2, root rot nematode, tomato spotted wilt virus, bacterial spot and early blight. ‘H2021’ produces an exceptional set of small, pear shaped red fruit suitable for whole peeling. The superior vine health and extended field storage make it particularly valuable for production regions with high levels of rain that can promote bacterial and fungal diseases and delay field harvest.

Abstract: A more efficient breeding against Cercospora leaf spot disease, or the development of new resistant lines, is enabled via the provision of the Cercospora resistance-mediating gene according to the invention; in particular, a dominant resistance effect in the target plant is evoked by the property of the identified gene alone. The Cercospora resistance-mediating gene, and embodiments of the present invention that are described in the preceding, offer additional applications, e.g., the use of the resistant gene allele in cis-genetic or trans-genetic approaches, with the goal of developing new resistant cultivars.
