Tomato plants exhibiting resistance tof. sp.(Fol) are provided, together with methods of producing, identifying, or selecting plants or germplasm with a Fol resistance phenotype and lacking undesirable soft fruit traits. Such plants include tomato plants comprising introgressed genomic regions conferring disease resistance. Compositions, including novel polymorphic markers for detecting plants comprising introgressed disease resistance alleles, are further provided.

Tomato plants with improved disease resistance

Tomato plants exhibiting resistance toare provided, together with methods of producing, identifying, or selecting plants or germplasm with aresistance phenotype and lacking an undesirable small fruit size trait. Such plants include tomato plants comprising introgressed genomic regions conferring disease resistance. Compositions, including novel polymorphic markers for detecting plants comprising introgressed disease resistance alleles, are further provided.

The present disclosure provides tomato plants exhibiting resistance to(Lt) and lacking traits associated with linkage drag such as an undesirable orange fruit exocarp color. Such plants may comprise novel introgressed genomic regions associated with disease resistance from. In certain aspects, compositions, including novel polymorphic markers and methods for producing, breeding, identifying, and selecting plants or germplasm with a disease resistance phenotype are provided.

The invention provides compositions and methods relating to the separation of elevated Brix from linked but undesirable agronomic traits among progeny with introgressions following a cross betweenand. The invention further provides plants, plant parts, and seeds comprising such elevated Brix, which do not comprise alleles specifying undesirable agronomic traits that are genetically linked to the elevated Brix trait.
