The present invention relates to a modified Slmyc2 gene, which may comprise at least one modification as compared to the wild type sequence of SEQ ID No. 5, which modification leads to the reduction or absence of SlMYC2 protein activity, wherein the modified Slmyc2 gene is capable of conferring an aberrant glandular hair phenotype to aplant. The modification may be suitably selected from a modification that decreases the mRNA level of the Slmyc2 gene, a modification that decreases the level of the SlMYC2 protein and/or a modification that decreases the activity of the SlMYC2 protein, as compared to the wild type Slmyc2 gene of SEQ ID No. 5.

Tomato plants allowing the establishment of mites

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 a tomato plant (L.) which may comprise a genetic determinant that confers resistance to Pepino Mosaic Virus (PepMV), wherein the resistance is characterized 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.

The present invention relates to lettuce plants and heads that are resistant tobiotype 1 (also called herein Nr:1) as well as to progeny of the plants and propagation material for producing the plants. The invention further relates to a source of the resistance for use in breeding.

Lettuce that is resistant to the lettuce aphid nasonovia ribisnigri biotype 1

Pepino Mosaic Virus resistant tomato plant

The present invention relates to lettuce (L.) plants being resistant against the lettuce aphid(Mosley). The invention further relates to parts of the plants, in particular to the seeds and to other propagation material, and to progeny of the plants.

[object Object]

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.
