  • Publication number: 20230034185
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides for unique onion plants with disease resistance and desirable bulb color and their progeny. Such plants may comprise an introgressed QTL associated with multiple disease resistance coupled with a desirable bulb color. In certain aspects, compositions, including distinct polymorphic molecular markers, and methods for producing, breeding, identifying, selecting, and the like of plants or germplasm with disease resistance and/or desirable bulb color are provided.
    Type: Application

    Inventors: Lowell Black, Eva King-Fan Chan, Jeneylyne Ferrera Colcol, Richard Jones, Chad Kramer, Wenwen Xiang
  • Patent number: 11457582
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides for unique onion plants with QTLs conferring Fusarium basal rot and pink root resistance and lacking the complementary pinks trait and their progeny. Such plants may comprise an introgressed QTL associated with multiple disease resistance coupled with a desirable bulb color. In certain aspects, compositions, including distinct polymorphic molecular markers, and methods for producing, breeding, identifying, selecting, and the like of plants or germplasm with disease resistance and/or desirable bulb color are provided.

  • Publication number: 20210147950
    Abstract: Cucumber plants exhibiting resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. radicis cucumerinum (FORC) are provided, together with methods of producing, identifying, or selecting plants or germplasm with a FORC resistance phenotype. Such plants include cucumber plants comprising introgressed genomic regions conferring disease resistance. Compositions, including novel polymorphic markers for detecting plants comprising introgressed disease resistance alleles, are further provided.
