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

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 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 invention provides seed and plants of melon hybrid SV5133MG and the parent lines thereof. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of melon hybrid SV5133MG and the parent lines thereof, and to methods for producing a melon plant produced by crossing such plants with themselves or with another melon plant, such as a plant of another genotype. The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates to parts of such plants, including the fruit and gametes of such plants.

Melon hybrid SV5133MG and parents thereof

The invention provides seed and plants of melon hybrid SV5845MP and the parent lines thereof. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of melon hybrid SV5845MP and the parent lines thereof, and to methods for producing a melon plant produced by crossing such plants with themselves or with another melon plant, such as a plant of another genotype. The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates to parts of such plants, including the fruit and gametes of such plants.
