Sp. spinacea races pfs:1, pfs:2, pfs:6, pfs:8 and pfs:15, and isolate US1508, and confers intermediate resistance to pfs:5, pfs:10 and pfs:16, and does not confer resistance to pfs:3, pfs:4, pfs:7, pfs:9, pfs:11, pfs:12, pfs:13 and pfs:14.
Abstract:
The present invention relates a plant comprising a modified F5H gene homolog, wherein said gene homolog comprises a modification as compared to its corresponding wild type F5H gene homolog, wherein the presence of the modified F5H gene homolog in the plant leads to a reduction of wound-induced surface discoloration in comparison to a plant not comprising the modified F5H gene homolog. The invention also relates to a modified F5H gene homolog that leads to the reduced wound-induced surface discoloration. The invention further relates to use of the gene in breeding and producing plants that show reduced wound-induced surface discoloration.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a tomato plant which carries at least one QTL in its genome that leads to its fruits comprising higher levels of anthocyanins when compared to fruits produced by a tomato plant not carrying said QTL in its genome, wherein said fruits are not purple at the red-ripe harvest stage. The QTL may be QTL1 which is located on chromosome 10 between marker sequence SEQ ID No. 1 and the end of said chromosome and can be identified by the markers having SEQ ID No. 2 and SEQ ID No. 3. Optionally, also QTL2 is present, which is located on chromosome 9 between marker sequences SEQ ID No. 4 and SEQ ID No. 5 and which can be identified by the marker having SEQ ID No. 9 and/or SEQ ID No. 22. Optionally, also QTL3 is present, which is located on chromosome 7 between marker sequences SEQ ID No. 13 and SEQ ID No. 14 and which can be identified by the markers having SEQ ID Nos. 15-20. QTL1 and optionally QTL2 and/or QTL3 are as comprised in the genome of a tomato plant representative seed of which was deposited with the NCIMB under deposit number NCIMB 42470. A tomato plant of the invention can also comprise all QTLs, each either in homozygous or heterozygous form. The invention further relates to progeny of the plant, propagation material for the plant and to markers for identifying the QTLs and their use.
