Cucumber plants exhibiting resistance to(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.

Cucumber plants with improved pest resistance

The invention provides methods and compositions for breeding pepper (sp. such as) lines, including isogenic and nearly isogenic lines, displaying one or more mature fruit color(s) of interest. Predictive genetic markers and associated sequences and primers, associated with phenotypic diversity at the Ccs locus encoding Capsanthin-Capsorubin Synthase, and the Ze locus encoding Zeaxanthin Epoxidase are also provided, as well as methods for breeding pepper lines. Further provided are pepper plants, and plant parts including seeds, seed mixtures, fruit, and packaged fruit, which display mature fruit color(s) of interest.

Selection of mature fruit color in pepper plants

The present disclosure provides for unique onion plants with QTLs conferringbasal 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.

The present disclosure provides melon plants exhibiting tolerance to cucurbit yellow stunt disorder virus (CYSDV) and lacking negative traits associated with CYSDV tolerance such as increased fruit size and reduced fruit set. Such plants may comprise novel introgressed genomic regions associated with disease tolerance. In certain aspects, compositions, including novel polymorphic markers and methods for producing, breeding, identifying, and selecting plants or germplasm with a disease tolerance phenotype are provided.

Melon plants with improved disease tolerance

The present invention relates to methods for identifying cucumber lines having increased resistance to Downy Mildew, and identification of genetic markers linked to gene(s) conditioning such increased disease resistance. The present invention also relates to methods of breeding cucumber plants from lines having increased Downy Mildew resistance by marker-assisted selection, compositions including nucleic acid probes or primers which are useful for such marker assisted selection, and plants and plant parts produced by such methods.
