The invention provides a new and distinct hybrid variety of melon, NUN 31017 MEM.

The present disclosure provides a novel powdery mildew resistance marker for melon plants, a powdery mildew resistant melon plant including a powdery mildew resistance locus; and a method for producing a powdery mildew resistant melon plant using the same.

The present invention relates to a Cucumis melo seed designated 34-742 RZ. The present invention also relates to a Cucumis melo plant produced by growing the 34-742 RZ seed. The invention further relates to methods for producing the melon cultivar, represented by melon variety 34-742 RZ.

A Cucumis melo plant or a part thereof, the plant bearing more than 12 fruit, the fruit being seedless. Methods of generating same and breeding same are also disclosed.

The present disclosure provides melon plants exhibiting tolerance to cucurbit yellow stunt disorder virus (CYSDV) and lacking negative traits associated with CYSDV tolerance such as increased fruit size and reduced fruit set. Such plants may comprise novel introgressed genomic regions associated with disease tolerance. In certain aspects, compositions, including novel polymorphic markers and methods for producing, breeding, identifying, and selecting plants or germplasm with a disease tolerance phenotype are provided.

The invention provides a new and distinct hybrid variety of melon, NUN 68106 MEM as well as seeds and plants and fruits thereof.

The invention provides a new and distinct hybrid variety of melon, NUN 71504 MEM.

The invention provides seed and plants of melon hybrid SVMF7843, melon line CAN-DV17-4440 PF, and melon line HAR-DV13-4151AN. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds, and tissue cultures of melon hybrid SVMF7843, melon line CAN-DV17-4440 PF, melon line HAR-DV13-4151AN and to methods for producing a melon plant produced by crossing such plants with themselves or with another melon 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 plants, seeds, plant parts, and tissue cultures of melon hybrid SVMF7843, melon line CAN-DV17-4440 PF, and melon line HAR-DV13-4151AN comprising introduced beneficial or desirable traits.

The present disclosure provides melon plants exhibiting resistance to powdery mildew, aphids, and cucumber vein yellowing virus (CVYV). In certain embodiments, the invention provides melon plants with powdery mildew, aphid, and CVYV resistance loci located in cis linkage on chromosome 5. In certain aspects, compositions, including novel polymorphic markers and methods for producing, breeding, identifying, and selecting plants or germplasm with a disease resistance phenotype are provided.

The invention provides a new and distinct hybrid variety of Melon, NUN 16215 MEM as well as seeds and plants and fruits thereof.
