The present invention relates to aplant which carries QTL1 in its genome that leads to resistance against thespecies complex, which QTL1 is located between flanking marker sequences SEQ ID No. 1 and SEQ ID No. 2 and can be identified by and is in particular linked to one or more markers selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID No. 3, SEQ ID No. 4, SEQ ID No. 5, SEQ ID No. 6, SEQ ID No. 7, SEQ ID No. 8, SEQ ID No. 9, SEQ ID No. 10, SEQ ID No. 11, and SEQ ID No. 12, or combinations thereof. In a further embodiment, theplant further comprises anotherresistance conferring QTL, which combination of QTLs leads to an improved level of resistance to thespecies complex when compared to a plant in which only the other QTL is present.
