The invention relates to a Solanum lycopersicum plant that is resistant to TBRFV, which plant comprises a QTL on chromosome 11 between SEQ ID NO: 1 and 53. The presence of the QTL on chromosome 11 is identified by use of at least one of the markers selected from the group comprising SEQ ID NOS: 4 to 52. The QTL is as comprised in the genome of a Solanum lycopersicum plant representative seed of which was deposited with the NCIMB under deposit number NCIMB 42882, NCIMB 42885, NCIMB 42887, or NCIMB 42890.

The invention provides specific transgenic soybean plants, plant material and seeds, characterized in that these products harbor a specific nematode resistance and herbicide tolerance transformation event at a specific location in the soybean genome. Tools are also provided which allow rapid and unequivocal identification of the event in biological samples.
