Abstract: A plant comprising a genome having an introgression which comprises a polynucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide having a terpene synthase activity or a transporter activity, the introgression comprising allelic variation(s) as compared to a genome of a recurrent parent of the plant, is disclosed. Organisms comprising a genome having been genetically modified to express a polypeptide having a terpene synthase activity or a transporter activity are also disclosed. Methods of modulating terpene synthesis or transport of metabolites in organisms, methods of producing plants having a terpene synthase activity of interest, having a terpene profile of interest or having a transporter activity of interest are disclosed. Methods of producing a terpene of interest are also disclosed.

Abstract: A cucumber plant comprising a genome being homozygous for a loss of function mutation in an eIF4E gene is provided. Also provided are methods of producing such plants.

Abstract: The present invention relates to engrafted plants comprising a transgenic rootstock resistant to a viral disease and a susceptible scion, wherein the resistance to the disease is conferred to the scion from the transgenic viral-resistant rootstock, such that the entire engrafted plant is resistant to the viral disease. The invention also relates to methods of producing the engrafted viral-resistant plants and the plants produced thereof.
