The present invention provides a method for the production ofplants having an average sympodial index of 2 and producing red-colored fruits comprising crossing a plant ofcapable of producing red-colored fruits, with a plant of aspp. having an average sympodial index of 2, collecting the seeds resulting from the cross, regenerating the seeds into plants, providing one or more backcross generations, selfing the backross plants, growing the selfed seed into plants, and identifying and selecting plants having an average sympodial index of 2 and producing red-colored fruits.

[object Object]

The present invention relates to a method of producing a parthenocarpic, and optionally male sterile, tomato plant comprising introgressing into said plant a genetic region from Chromosome 4, 5 and/or 12 ofLYC4/78, a representative sample of seed of which was deposited on 13 Nov. 2007 with the NCIMB under Accession number 41517, wherein the genetic region from Chromosome 4 ofLYC4/78 includes at least one marker selected from Marker CD59, RFLP Marker CT229, and COS Marker T1068, and wherein the genetic region from Chromosome 5 ofLYC4/78 includes at least one marker selected from COS Marker T1181, RFLP Marker TG441 and/or RFLP Marker CD31(A).

The present invention relates to a tomato plant having within its genome at least one allele of a gene that confers resistance to Tomato torrado virus (ToTV), said virus having been deposited with the Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen GmbH on 24 Nov. 2004 under depositors reference number ToTV-E01 (DSM 16999).

Plants having  tomato torrado virus resistance

The present invention relates to a plant of a cucumber breeding line having an introgression from cucumber accession PI 169383, a representative sample of seed of which has been deposited with the NCIMB, Aberdeen, Scotland under accession number NCIMB 41532 and depositors reference PI169383, wherein said introgression is an introgression on linkage group 4 associated with increased yield of said plants, wherein said plant exhibits an increased yield relative a plant of said cucumber breeding line lacking said introgression, and wherein said increased yield refers to a higher total fruit weight per plant.
