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.

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.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for the production of S. lycopersicum plants having an average sympodial index of 2 and producing red-colored fruits comprising crossing a plant of S. lycopersicum capable of producing red-colored fruits, with a plant of a Solanum spp. having an average sympodial index of 2, collecting the seeds resulting from the cross, regenerating the seeds into plants, providing one or more backcross generations, selfing the backross plants, growing the selfed seed into plants, and identifying and selecting plants having an average sympodial index of 2 and producing red-colored fruits.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides tomato plants exhibiting improved fruit quality and disease resistance. Such plants may comprise novel introgressed genomic regions associated with improved fruit quality or disease resistance. In certain aspects, compositions, including novel polymorphic markers and methods for producing, breeding, identifying, and selecting plants or germplasm with an improved fruit quality or disease resistance phenotype are provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a plant of a cucumber breeding line having an introgression from cucumber accession PI 169383, a representative sample of seed of which has been deposited with the NCIMB, Aberdeen, Scotland under accession number NCIMB 41532 and depositors reference PI169383, wherein said introgression is an introgression on linkage group 4 associated with increased yield of said plants, wherein said plant exhibits an increased yield relative a plant of said cucumber breeding line lacking said introgression, and wherein said increased yield refers to a higher total fruit weight per plant.
