The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of spinach hybrid SVVC8414 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 disclosure provides a new and distinct hybrid variety of spinach, NUN 06212 SPS as well as seeds and plants and leaves thereof.

Inbred spinaches OS0692, OS0694, and OS0699 are described. The disclosure relates to, e.g., seeds or plants thereof, as well as to methods for producing other spinach lines, cultivars, or hybrids derived from the spinaches OS0692, OS0694, and OS0699.

A more efficient breeding against Cercospora leaf spot disease, or the development of new resistant lines, is enabled via the provision of the Cercospora resistance-mediating gene according to the invention; in particular, a dominant resistance effect in the target plant is evoked by the property of the identified gene alone. The Cercospora resistance-mediating gene, and embodiments of the present invention that are described in the preceding, offer additional applications, e.g., the use of the resistant gene allele in cis-genetic or trans-genetic approaches, with the goal of developing new resistant cultivars.

The present invention relates to an allele designated alpha-CMV which confers resistance to CMV when present in a spinach plant, wherein the protein encoded by said allele is a CC-NBS-LRR protein that comprises in its amino acid sequence: a) the motif MAEIGYSVC (SEQ ID NO: 22) at its N-terminus; and b) the motif KWMCLR (SEQ ID NO: 23); and c) an LRR domain that has in order of increased preference at least 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 100% sequence similarity to SEQ ID NO: 10. The allele has a genomic nucleotide sequence which in order of increased preference has at least 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 100% sequence similarity to SEQ ID NO: 1. The invention further relates to plants comprising the allele and to various methods involving the allele.
