  • Directed strategies for improving phenotypic traits
    Patent number: 11107551
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for improving at least one phenotypic trait of interest in subsequent generation(s) of a population of individuals, preferably crop plants or cattle. Particularly, the method identifies the combination of at least three individuals that gives, upon subsequent intercrossing, the highest estimated probability of improving the at least one phenotypic trait of interest in the subsequent generation(s). Also provided is a computer-readable medium comprising instructions for performing the method.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 13, 2014
    Date of Patent: August 31, 2021
    Assignee: KEYGENE N.V.
    Inventors: Jacob Bernhard Buntjer, José Lúcio Lima Guerra, Timotheus Gerardus Doeswijk, Remco Van Berloo, Niek Bouman

  • Tomato plants having higher levels of resistance to
    Patent number: 8575451
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for detecting a quantitative trait locus (QTL) associated with resistance to Botrytis cinerea in tomato, including the steps of crossing a Botrytis-resistant donor tomato plant with a non-resistant, or Botrytis-susceptible, recipient tomato plant, contacting one or more offspring plants with an infective amount of Botrytis, quantitatively determining the disease incidence and/or the rate of lesion growth in the one or more offspring plants, establishing a genetic linkage map that links the observed disease incidence and/or rate of lesion growth to the presence of chromosomal markers of the donor tomato plant in the one or more offspring plants, and assigning to a QTL the contiguous markers on the map that are linked to a reduced disease incidence and/or a reduced lesion growth rate.
