A hybrid cucumber designated Macario is disclosed that has moderate resistance to powdery mildew and cucumber mosaic virus, and has resistance to cucumber vein yellowing virus and scab and gummosis. The invention relates to the seeds of hybrid cucumber Macario, to the plants of hybrid cucumber Macario, and to methods for producing a cucumber plant, either inbred or hybrid, by crossing the hybrid Macario with itself or another cucumber plant. The invention further relates to methods for producing a cucumber plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic plants produced by that method and to methods for producing other cucumber lines, cultivars, or hybrids derived from the hybrid cucumber Macario.

A hybrid cucumber designated Enki is disclosed having resistance to powdery mildew (), cucumber mosaic virus, and cucumber vein yellowing virus. The invention relates to the seeds of hybrid cucumber Enki, to the plants of hybrid cucumber Enki, and to methods for producing a cucumber plant, either inbred or hybrid, by crossing the hybrid Enki with itself or another cucumber plant. The invention further relates to methods for producing a cucumber plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic plants produced by that method and to methods for producing other cucumber lines, cultivars, or hybrids derived from the hybrid cucumber Enki.

Cucumber hybrid enki

A method for producing aplant, providing cucumber fruits exhibiting 'extended shelf life, comprising: (a) providing a firstplant containing at least one quantitative trait locus (QTL); (b) crossing the first plant with a secondplant; (c) analyzing the progeny for presence or absence of QTL; and (d) identifying and selecting plants containing QTL. The QTL is selected from QTL1 or QTL2. QTL1 has a first molecular marker of SEQ ID No:1, a cucumber genomic fragment, and SEQ ID No:2, and a second molecular marker of SEQ ID No:3, a cucumber genomic fragment, and SEQ ID No:4. QTL2 has a first molecular marker of SEQ ID No:5, a cucumber genomic fragment, and SEQ ID No:6, and a second molecular marker of SEQ ID No:7, a cucumber genomic fragment, and SEQ ID No:8.

Hybrid cucumber cultivars designated 'Excelsior', '15620', &#x2018;15660&#x2019;, and &#x2018;15597&#x2019;, which are the first pickling cucumbers suitable for a vertical growing system under covered cultivation, are disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of hybrid cucumber cultivars &#x2018;Excelsior&#x2019;, &#x2018;15620&#x2019;, &#x2018;15660&#x2019; and &#x2018;15597&#x2019;, to the plants of hybrid cucumber cultivars &#x2018;Excelsior&#x2019;, &#x2018;15620&#x2019;, &#x2018;15660&#x2019; and &#x2018;15597&#x2019;. The invention also relates to methods for producing a cucumber plant, either inbred or hybrid, by crossing the hybrid cultivar &#x2018;Excelsior&#x2019; with itself or another cucumber cultivar, by crossing the hybrid cultivar &#x2018;15620&#x2019; with itself or another cucumber cultivar, by crossing the hybrid cultivar &#x2018;15660&#x2019; with itself or another cucumber cultivar, and by crossing the hybrid cultivar &#x2018;15597&#x2019; with itself or another cucumber cultivar. The invention further relates to methods for producing other cucumber cultivars derived from the hybrids &#x2018;Excelsior&#x2019;, &#x2018;15620&#x2019;, &#x2018;15660&#x2019;, and &#x2018;15597&#x2019;. The invention also relates to pickling cucumbers suitable for vertical growing systems under covered cultivation.
