This invention is a new and distinct variety of grapevine denominated ‘IFG Forty-eight’. The new grapevine is characterized by producing small sized obtuse ovoid white berries having crisp texture with a strong muscat flavor and which ripens in early season. Berries are borne on medium size clusters which are loose and do not need gibberellin applications to thin clusters. Gibberellin is required to increase berry size.

The invention relates to a Solanum lycopersicum plant that is resistant to TBRFV, which plant comprises a QTL on chromosome 11, and/or a QTL on chromosome 12, and/or a QTL on chromosome 6. The presence of the QTL on chromosome 11 can be identified by use of at least one of the markers selected from the group comprising SEQ ID NOS: 1, 9, and 2-8; the presence of the QTL on chromosome 12 can be identified by use of at least one of the markers selected from the group comprising SEQ ID NOS: 10, 15, and 11-14; and the presence of the QTL on chromosome 6 can be identified by use of at least one of the markers selected from the group comprising SEQ ID NOS: 16, 25, and 17-24. 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 42879, NCIMB 42880, NCIMB 42881, NCIMB 42882, NCIMB 42883, NCIMB 42884, NCIMB 42885, NCIMB 42886, NCIMB 42887, NCIMB 42888, NCIMB 42889, or NCIMB 42890.

The present invention relates to a Cucumis sativus plant which may comprise a QTL, a copy number variant region, at least two copies of an ERF gene, or a mutation leading to increased expression of an ERF gene, which leads to Pythium resistance. The invention further relates to propagation material suitable for producing such Cucumis sativus plant. The invention also relates to a method for producing such Cucumis sativus plant and to methods for identification and selection of such a plant. In addition, the invention relates to a marker for identification of the QTL or copy number variant region, or for identification of the presence of at least two copies of an ERF gene resulting in Pythium resistance in Cucumis sativus, and to use of said marker. The invention also relates to seed which may comprise the QTL, copy number variant region, at least two copies of an ERF gene, or a mutation leading to increased expression of an ERF gene, which leads to Pythium resistance in the plant grown from such seed.
