The invention relates to a celery plant (Apium graveolens L. dulce) carrying a genetic determinant that leads to short leaf blades and/or a more uniform distribution of stem lengths as compared to celery plants not carrying the genetic determinant, wherein said determinant is obtainable by introgression from a plant grown from seed of which a representative sample was deposited with the NCIMB under Accession No. NCIMB 41513. The invention also relates to seeds and other propagation material of the plant and to its progeny as well as to food products that comprise the consumable parts of the plant.

Celery plant (Apium graveolens L. dulce) with QTL on chromosome 8 between SEQ ID No. 1 and SEQ ID No. 2, which when homozygously present is responsible for the presence of two internodes on average per leaf at the harvesting stage (Reduced foliage or Rf-type ). The QTL can be genetically linked to at least one SNP present in SEQ ID No. 1 and/or SEQ ID No. 2. Celery seed deposited as NCIMB 44381 or NCIMB 41513 has the QTL. Celery plant having the QTL or genetic determinant having the QTL leads to the Rf-type (compared to celery not carrying the genetic determinant or QTL). The determinant or QTL is obtainable by introgression from a plant from NCIMB 41513 or 44381. Crossing celery from NCIMB 44381 or NCIMB 41513 with wildtype celery results in segregated F2 progeny population wherein Rf-type is observed in a monogenic recessive fashion. Methods for producing or growing the celery plant, and seeds, propagation material, progeny, and food products of, from the celery plant also disclosed.
