A Cucumis sativus var. sativus plant tolerant to Tomato Leaf Curl New Delhi Virus (ToLCNDV) includes in its genome the combination of a first quantitative trait locus (QTL) QTL1 on chromosome 1 and a second QTL, QTL2 on chromosome 2, at least one of QTL1 and QTL2 being homozygous, wherein said combination confers to the plant tolerance to ToLCNDV and said QTLs on chromosomes 1 and 2 are present in the genome of the seeds of plant TOCUR6080, NCIMB accession number 43427. The QTL are preferably characterized by defined alleles of different SNPs on chromosomes 1 and 2. Parts of these plants have ToLCNDV tolerance phenotype, as well as progeny, and can be used for introgressing the tolerance in another genetic background, with different methods for obtaining cucumber plants or seeds with increased tolerance to ToLCNDV and different markers linked to the QTLs used to confer tolerance phenotype.

The disclosure provides a plant of variety NUN 83067 CUL as well as seeds and plants and fruits thereof. NUN 83067 CUL is Dutch long type cucumber variety for the fresh market and suitable for growing in high wire greenhouse, comprising resistance to Cladosporium cucumerinum, Podosphaera xanthii, Corynespora cassiicola, and Cucumber Green Mottle Mosaic Virus (CGMMV).

The present invention relates to cultivated cucumber plants comprising a yield QTL on chromosome 2 and/or a yield QTL on chromosome 6 of their genome, and to methods for generating such plants, and their use.

The present invention is directed to cucumber and tomato plants comprising reduced susceptibility to pathogenic oomycetes due to the modification of a susceptibility gene of the plant.

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

The present invention discloses a breeding method and application of a new downy mildew-resistant interspecific hybrid Cucumis sativus variety. The breeding method comprises the following steps: performing hybridization to obtain F1 with the high-generation inbred line CCMC of ‘Changchun dense thorn Cucumis sativus’ as a female parent and a Cucumis sativus-Cucumis hystrix introgression line material IL52 as a male parent, selfing the hybrid F1 to obtain F2, and continuously constructing an F6 recombinant inbred line by the single seed transfer method; and by identifying of phenotypes of the recombinant inbred line populations during the natural inoculation of downy mildew at the adult plant stage in the field for 4 years, recombinant individuals with high resistance and good fruit marketability will be screened; and utilizing backcrossing and molecular marker-assisted selection to obtain the individuals as the new downy mildew-resistant interspecific hybrid Cucumis sativus variety in which the genotype in the dm5.2 region coincides with the banding pattern of IL52 and the other chromosome regions are the banding pattern of ‘Changchun dense thorn Cucumis sativus’. The new variety has a high downy mildew-resistant trait, high yield and excellent fruit quality.

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 invention provides seeds and plants of cucumber hybrid SV8592CS. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds, plant parts, and tissue cultures of cucumber hybrid SV8592CS and to methods for producing a cucumber plant produced by crossing such plants with themselves or with another plant, such as a cucumber 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 cucumber hybrid SV8592CS comprising introduced beneficial or desirable traits.

The disclosure provides a plant of variety NUN 53050 CUP as well as seeds and plants and fruits thereof. NUN 53050 CUP is a parthenocarpic pickling cucumber variety comprising resistance to Cladosporium cucumerinum (Cucumber Scab) and Erysiphe chicoracearum (Powdery Mildew).

A seed of hybrid cucumber designated as ‘E23S.16382’ is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of hybrid cucumber ‘E23S.16382’, to the plants of hybrid cucumber ‘E23S.16382’, to methods for producing a hybrid plant, and to methods for producing other cucumber lines, cultivars or hybrids derived from the hybrid cucumber ‘E23S.16382’.
