A novel hybrid cantaloupe plant designated SWEET SPOT is disclosed. The disclosure relates to the seeds of hybrid cantaloupe designated SWEET SPOT, to the plants and plant parts of hybrid cantaloupe designated SWEET SPOT, and to methods for producing a cantaloupe plant by crossing the hybrid cantaloupe SWEET SPOT with itself or another cantaloupe plant.

The present invention relates to a cultivated melon (Cucumis melo spp. melo) plant resistant against Tomato Leaf Curl New Delhi virus (ToLCNDV), which comprises QTL-1 in its genome, and which QTL-1 confers resistance against Tomato Leaf Curl New Delhi virus (ToLCNDV). The invention further provides progeny, fruit, seeds, propagation material and food products from the plant. The invention also provides markers for the identification of QTL-1, as well as a method for testing a melon (Cucumis melo spp. melo) plant for the presence of QTL-1 in its genome and a method for selecting or identifying a melon plant resistant against ToLCNDV. Also provided is a method for producing a melon (Cucumis melo spp. melo) plant which is resistant against Tomato Leaf Curl New Delhi virus (ToLCNDV).

The present invention relates to ToLCNDV resistant melon plants comprising one or two introgression fragments in their genome.

The present invention relates to a modified gene that provides resistance to Cucurbit Yellow Stunting Disorder virus (CYSDV) when present in a plant of the Cucurbitaceae family. The invention further relates to progeny, seed, and fruit of the plant that is resistant against CYSDV. The invention also relates to propagation material suitable for producing the plant that is resistant to CYSDV. Additionally, the invention relates to methods for producing, identifying, and selecting a plant of the Cucurbitaceae family having resistance against CYSDV.

The disclosure provides a new and distinct hybrid melon variety NUN 16108 MEM as well as seeds and plants and fruits thereof. NUN 16108 MEM is a non-sutured cantaloupe melon of the Harper subtype (i.e., having long shelf-life and good taste) with yellow skin and orange flesh, comprising resistance to Fusarium oxysporum melonis Race 0 (HR), Race 1 (HR), and Race 2 (HR), Podosphaera xanthii Race 1 (IR), Race 2 (IR), and Race 5 (IR), Golovinomyces cichoracearum (IR), and Aphis gossypii.

The disclosure provides a new and distinct hybrid melon variety NUN 76307 MEM as well as seeds and plants and fruits thereof. NUN 76307 MEM is a Cantaloupe non-sutured melon variety with extended shelf life, rounded oblate shape, pale yellow green rind color, and moderate orange flesh comprising resistance to Podosphaera xanthii Race 1, Race 2, and Race 5, Fusarium oxysporum melonis Race 1, Muskmelon Necrotic Spot Virus (MNSV), and Aphis gossypii.

The invention provides seed and plants of melon hybrid SVMF7059 and the parent lines thereof. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds, and tissue cultures of melon hybrid SVMF7059 and the parent lines thereof 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 SVMF7059 and melon line CAN-DV16-4385MO comprising introduced beneficial or desirable traits.

The present invention is directed to melon plant and seed, namely of C. melo subsp. melo, which are resistant to ToLCNDV, comprising in their genome introgressed sequences from C. melo subsp. agrestis var. acidulous conferring resistance to said virus, when present homozygously. The introgressed sequences are preferably characterized by defined alleles of SNPs on chromosome 11, inter alia allele A of SNP Melon_sbg_14207_58 (SEQ ID No:9). The introgressed sequences can be chosen from those present in the genome of a plant of ToLR1 accession number NCIMB 42506. The invention is also directed to parts of these resistant plants, as well as progeny, to the use of these plants for introgressing the resistance in another genetic background, as well as to different methods for obtaining resistant melon plants or seeds.

The disclosure provides a new and distinct hybrid melon variety NUN 76207 MEM as well as seeds and plants and fruits thereof. NUN 76207 MEM is a Cantaloupe non-sutured melon variety of the Harper subtype with long shelf-life, oval shape, moderate yellow green rind color and dark orange flesh comprising resistance to Podosphaera xanthii Race 1, Race 2, Race 5, Fusarium oxysporum melonis Race 1, Muskmelon Necrotic Spot Virus (MNSV), and Aphis gossypii.

The disclosure provides a new and distinct hybrid melon variety NUN 76267 MEM as well as seeds and plants and fruits thereof. NUN 76267 MEM is a Cantaloupe long shelf-life non-sutured melon variety with rounded oval shape, light grey rind color, and moderate orange flesh and comprising resistance to Fusarium oxysporum melonis Race 1.
