Tomato plants exhibiting resistance to tomato chlorosis virus andf. sp.race 2 are provided, together with methods of producing, identifying, or selecting plants or germplasm with a tomato chlorosis virus andf. sp.race 2 resistance phenotype and lacking an undesirable cold sensitivity trait. Such plants include tomato plants comprising recombinant genomic regions conferring disease resistance. Compositions, including novel polymorphic markers for detecting plants comprising introgressed disease resistance alleles, are further provided.

Tomato plants with improved disease resistance

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.
