The present invention relates to cultivated cucumber plants comprising a yield QTL on chromosome 2 and/or a yield QTL on chromosome 6 of their genome, and to methods for generating such plants, and their use.

Introgression of two yield QTLs inplants

The application relates to the field of plant breeding, in particular watermelon breeding. Provided are CVYV resistant watermelon plants (and seeds from which these plants can be grown). Also provided is a QTL for CVYV resistance (cyv_3.1) and markers and methods for screening plants for the presence of the QTL.

Watermelon plants with cucumber vein yellowing virus (CVYV) resistance

The present invention relates to cultivated cucumber plants comprising a yield QTL on chromosome 3 of their genome, and to methods for generating such plants, and their use.

Introgression of a yield QTL inplants

The present invention relates to cultivated cucumber plants comprising a yield QTL on chromosome 2 and/or chromosome 6 of their genome.

Yield QTLs in cucumber plants

The present invention relates to cultivated cucumber plants comprising a yield QTL on chromosome 2 of their genome.

The invention relates to the breeding of cucumbers, and especially to a new cucumber plant with a valuable new characteristic. This new characteristic leads to an improvement in the growth properties and so to a simplification and improvement of cucumber cultivation. Seeds according to the invention and methods for introducing the new characteristic into other cucumber plants are also covered. Self-pollination and cross-pollination of the plants according to the invention are described, as well as the production of doubled haploids from these plants.
