The present invention relates to plant of the species, said plant comprising a genetic element derived from a plant of the speciesvar., which genetic element comprises a closterovirus-resistance-conferring QTL or a closterovirus-resistance-conferring part thereof linked to at least one marker located on the chromosome equivalent to linkage group (LG) 6 of melon accession PI 313970, wherein said plant is not melon accession PI 313970.

Closterovirus-resistant melon plants

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.

Methods for improving the yield of cucumber plants

The present invention relates to a plant of a cucumber breeding line comprising an introgression from cucumber inbred line URS 189, a representative sample of seed of which has been deposited with the NCIMB, Aberdeen, Scotland under accession number NCIMB 41612 and depositors reference URS 189, or a-resistant offspring plant of line URS 189, wherein said introgression confers to said plant of said cucumber breeding line resistance to the causal agent ofstem and root rotf. sp.(Forc).
