Disclosed are methods for diagnosing Bacterial Vaginosis (BV). The disclosed methods generally include detecting select species ofand/or, and optionally detecting select species of. Also disclosed are nucleic acid oligomers and related compositions for detection of a 16S rRNA or its encoding gene from select species of, or

Methods for diagnosing bacterial vaginosis

A watermelon plant that produces fruit having (i) ultra-firm flesh and/or liquid-retaining flesh and (ii) soluble solids of at least about 6 brix. The invention further provides for unique watermelon plants with an ultra-firm flesh phenotype and their progeny. Such plants may comprise an introgressed QTL associated with an ultra-firm flesh phenotype. In certain aspects, compositions, including distinct polymorphic molecular markers, and methods for producing, breeding, identifying, selecting, and the like of plants or germplasm with an ultra-firm flesh phenotype are provided.

Methods and compositions for watermelon with improved processing qualities and firmness

The invention relates to a melon plant, and parts thereof including seeds and fruit, that is resistant to Zucchini Yellow Mosaic Virus (ZYMV) and Watermelon Mosaic Virus (WMV). The melon plant may further comprise resistance to Cucumber Mosaic Virus (CMV) and/or further display a Brix measurement of &#x2265;9.5&#xb0; Bx, orange flesh color, and/or a fruit width to length ratio of &#x2265;0.5. Methods for producing such a plant are also provided.

Multiple-virus-resistant melon

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

Reaction mixtures for diagnosing bacterial vaginosis

The invention provides compositions and methods relating to the production ofplants with elevated Brix and/or enhanced fruit color. The invention further provides plants, plant parts, and seeds comprising such elevated Brix. The invention allows introgression of the identified high Brix QTL in an desired genetic background of a sexually compatible plant species.

Methods and compositions for producing plants with elevated brix

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.

Methods and compositions for identifying downy mildew resistant cucumber plants

The invention provides for unique watermelon plants with an ultra-firm flesh phenotype and their progeny. Such plants may comprise an introgressed QTL associated with an ultra-firm flesh phenotype. In certain aspects, compositions, including distinct polymorphic molecular markers, and methods for producing, breeding, identifying, selecting, and the like of plants or germplasm with an ultra-firm flesh phenotype are provided.

Methods and compositions for watermelon firmness

The invention relates to a melon plant, and parts thereof including seeds and fruit, that is resistant to Zucchini Yellow Mosaic Virus (ZYMV) and Watermelon Mosaic Virus (WMV). The melon plant may further comprise resistance to Cucumber Mosaic Virus (CMV) and/or further display a Brix measurement of &#x2267;9.5&#xb0; Bx, orange flesh color, and/or a fruit width to length ratio of &#x2267;0.5. Methods for producing such a plant are also provided.

The present invention relates to cucumber lines having increased resistance to Downy Mildew. The present invention also relates to parts of cucumber plants from lines having increased Downy Mildew resistance, including seeds capable of growing cucumber plants with increased Downy Mildew resistance. Further provided are methods of producing such plants by genetic marker assisted selection.
