  • Publication number: 20230270068
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides Brassica oleracea plants having curds or heads exhibiting increased resistance to downy mildew. Such plants may comprise novel introgressed genomic regions associated with disease resistance from Brassica oleracea MYCOCLP. 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.

  • Publication number: 20220064663
    Abstract: Tomato plants exhibiting resistance to tomato chlorosis virus and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici race 2 are provided, together with methods of producing, identifying, or selecting plants or germplasm with a tomato chlorosis virus and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici race 2 resistance phenotype and lacking an undesirable cold sensitivity trait. Such plants include tomato plants comprising recombinant genomic regions conferring disease resistance. Compositions, including novel polymorphic markers for detecting plants comprising introgressed disease resistance alleles, are further provided.

  • Publication number: 20210324395
    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.
