The present invention relates to diploid, fertile, self-compatible and essentially homozygous potato lines, wherein said lines comprise an agronomically desirable trait such as vigour. The invention further relates to methods for producing such plants and to hybrid seeds obtained by crossing such homozygous potato lines and to potato plants grown from said see.

Hybrid seed potato breeding

The present invention relates to diploid, fertile, self-compatible and essentially homozygous potato lines, wherein said lines comprise an agronomically desirable trait such as vigour. The invention further relates to methods for producing such plants and to hybrid seeds obtained by crossing such homozygous potato lines and to potato plants grown from said seed.

The present invention relates to a method for detecting a quantitative trait locus (QTL) associated with resistance toin tomato, including the steps of crossing a-resistant donor tomato plant with a non-resistant, or-susceptible, recipient tomato plant, contacting one or more offspring plants with an infective amount of, quantitatively determining the disease incidence and/or the rate of lesion growth in the one or more offspring plants, establishing a genetic linkage map that links the observed disease incidence and/or rate of lesion growth to the presence of chromosomal markers of the donor tomato plant in the one or more offspring plants, and assigning to a QTL the contiguous markers on the map that are linked to a reduced disease incidence and/or a reduced lesion growth rate.
