The present invention relates to a spinach plant which may comprise an allele conferring resistance to downy mildew, propagation material of said spinach plant, a cell of said spinach plant, seed of said spinach plant, and to harvested leaves of said spinach plant. The invention further relates to use of a spinach plant in breeding to confer resistance against downy mildew.

The current invention concerns a spinach plant comprising resistance against Peronospora farinosa races 1-9, 11-15 and isolate UA1014APLP.

The invention provides seed and plants of spinach hybrid SV5777VA and the parent lines thereof. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of spinach hybrid SV5777VA and the parent lines thereof, and to methods for producing a spinach plant produced by crossing such plants with themselves or with another spinach plant, such as a plant of another genotype. The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates to parts of such plants, including the leaf and gametes of such plants.

The object of the present invention is to provide a spinach line with the novel feature of solid petioles at harvest time. As a result of developing many progeny lines having petioles in which the hollow portion is relatively small over many years, a spinach line having solid petioles at harvest time was constructed.

The invention provides seed and plants of spinach hybrid SV1846VC and the parent lines thereof. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of spinach hybrid SV1846VC and the parent lines thereof, and to methods for producing a spinach plant produced by crossing such plants with themselves or with another spinach plant, such as a plant of another genotype. The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates to parts of such plants, including the leaf and gametes of such plants.

The present invention relates to a spinach plant which may comprise a single dominant gene which confers resistance to Peronospora farinosa f. sp. spinaciae races Pfs1, Pfs2, Pfs3, Pfs4, Pfs5, Pfs6, Pfs9, Pfs11, Pfs12, Pfs13 and UA4410, and to isolate E1314-283, wherein the gene is obtainable by introgression from a plant grown from seeds of which a representative sample was deposited with the NCIMB under NCIMB accession numbers 41857, 41976, 41977, 41978, 41980, 41981, 41984, 42116. The invention further relates to progeny of the plant, to propagation material therefore, such as seed, and to food products which may comprise the spinach leaves.
