Abstract: The present invention is directed to Cucurbitaceae plants comprising reduced susceptibility to downy mildew due to the modification of a susceptibility gene of the plant.

Abstract: The invention relates to lettuce plants comprising in its genome a mutant homoserine kinase allele in homozygous form, whereby the plants are resistant against Bremia lactucae.

Abstract: The present invention relates to cultivated cucumber plants comprising modifications in their genome, whereby the modifications confer reduced susceptibility to internal fruit rot symptoms caused by Didymella bryoniae, and to methods for generating such plants, and their use.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a tomato plant comprising in its genome at least one chromosome comprising a mutant allele of the wild type male sterility 10 (MS10) gene and a mutant allele of the wild type anthocyanin absent (AA) gene wherein in said plant the meiotic recombination frequency is reduced between said mutant allele of the wild type MS10 gene and said mutant allele of the wild type AA gene when compared to the meiotic recombination frequency between the MS10 gene and the AA gene in a wild type Solanum lycopersicum plant. The present invention further relates to a seed from which a plant according to present invention can be grown and a part of a plant according to the present invention. The present invention further relates to a method of identifying and/or selecting a male sterile plant, said method comprising growing a plant according to the present invention and determining whether anthocyanin is absent in the hypocotyls of said plant.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the introduction and selection of a specific heritable mutation in a plant comprising transfecting plant cells with exogenous DNA, wherein said exogenous DNA encodes an RNA-guided DNA endonuclease, guide RNA suitable for directing the RNA-guided DNA endonuclease to induce said specific heritable mutation and a selection marker; regenerating plants from transfected cells to provide a plurality of T0 plants crossing the T0 plants with isogenic plants not comprising said exogenous DNA to provide a plurality of progeny plants; and selecting one or more plants having the heritable mutation from the progeny plants.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a plant of the species Solanum lycopersicum comprising in its genome at least one copy of a mutant allele of the wild type ACO4 gene, wherein said mutant allele when present in homozygous form causes the fruits having an increased fruit firmness after the fruits entered the full red stage. The present invention further relates to a seed from which a plant according to present invention can be grown, a plant grown from the seed according to the present invention, a fruit produced by a plant according to the present invention and a part of a plant according to the present invention. The present invention further relates to a method for producing tomato fruit having an increased shelf life comprising growing a plant according to the present invention. The present invention further relates to a method of identifying and/or selecting a plant or plant part according to the present invention.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to Cucurbitaceae plants comprising reduced susceptibility to downy mildew due to the modification of a susceptibility gene of the plant.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to cucumber and tomato plants comprising reduced susceptibility to pathogenic oomycetes due to the modification of a susceptibility gene of the plant.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to seedless fruit producing plants. The present invention also comprises methods for production of said plants and the use of nucleic acids encoding ABCB transporter proteins for the production of seedless fruits.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a plant of the family Solanaceae comprising in its genome at least one copy of a mutant allele which causes stenospermocarpic fruit formation when present in homozygous form. The present invention further relates to pollen and seed produced by the plant of the present invention, seed from which the plant of the present invention can be grown and a part from the plant according to the present invention. The present invention further relates to a method of identifying and/or selecting a plant according to the present invention and a method of producing a plant according to the present invention. The present invention further relates to the use of the plant of the present invention as a crop for consumption or as a source of propagation material. The present invention further relates to the use of a nucleic acid for the identification of a plant of the present invention or for breeding plants of the present invention.

Abstract: The invention relates to lettuce plants comprising in its genome a mutant homoserine kinase allele in homozygous form, whereby the plants are resistant against Bremia lactucae.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to seedless fruit producing plants. The present invention also comprises methods for production of said plants and the use of nucleic acids encoding ABCB transporter proteins for the production of seedless fruits.
