The present invention relates to a tomato plant (L.) which may comprise a genetic determinant that confers resistance to Pepino Mosaic Virus (PepMV), wherein the resistance is characterised by the presence of at least QTL1 and/or QTL2. The invention also relates to sources for obtaining said genetic determinant, representative seed of which were deposited with the NCIMB under accession numbers NCIMB 41927, NCIMB 41928, NCIMB 42068, and NCIMB 42069. The invention further relates to seeds and progeny of the plant and to its fruits and processed fruits. In addition the invention relates to molecular markers linked to PepMV resistance conferring QTLs and the use thereof.

Pepino Mosaic Virus resistant tomato plant

The present invention relates to aseed designated 72-240 RZ, which exhibits pink colored fruits, medium sized fruits, circular shape of the fruits in longitudinal section, fruits having two or three locules. The present invention also relates to aplant produced by growing the 72-240 RZ seed. The invention further relates to methods for producing the tomato cultivar, represented by tomato variety 72-240 RZ.

Hybrid tomato variety 72-240 RZ

The present invention relates to a tomato plant (L.) in which the glandular heads of type VI trichomes are absent, and that has a modified composition of flavonoids and volatiles. Furthermore, the typical tomato smell is absent or nearly absent. The plant comprises a mutant allele, which is obtainable from a tomato plant, representative seed of which was deposited under deposit accession number NCIMB 41845. The said mutant allele is located on chromosome 9 between positions 1750800 bp and 4517648 bp, preferably between positions 1939546 bp and 2970346 bp, most preferably at about position 2454946 bp on a physical map of thegenome.
