  • Publication number: 20230250446
    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.

  • Patent number: 11076545
    Abstract: The invention provides seed and plants of tomato hybrid DR0147TX and the parent lines thereof. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of tomato hybrid DR0147TX and the parent lines thereof, and to methods for producing a tomato plant produced by crossing such plants with themselves or with another tomato plant, such as a plant of another genotype. The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates to parts of such plants, including the fruit and gametes of such plants.

  • Publication number: 20210137041
    Abstract: Processes for the production of large quantities of diploid F1 Solanum potato tubers that are uniform in shape are provided. Diploid F1 hybrid plants are produced from true seeds. The tubers produced by the diploid F1 hybrid plants are either harvested for consumption, processing or extraction, or for production of seedling tubers which are then planted to produce tubers for consumption, processing or extraction. Also provided are diploid F1 hybrid seeds and plants that produce large quantities of tubers that are uniform in shape and produce large quantities of sprouts per tuber when used as seedling tubers.

  • Publication number: 20210029956
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a diploid, fertile, self-compatible and highly homozygous tuber-bearing Solanum species potato line designated Solyntus. The potato line Solyntus produces 15 to 20 tubers per plant. The tubers have a yellow flesh. The phenotype of the plant and tuber is stable through both sexual and asexual reproduction. The potato line Solyntus is produced from seeds or by asexual reproduction of tubers or other plant parts.
