The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds, plant parts, and tissue cultures of cucumber hybrid DRCE1301 and cucumber inbred line EURY313-1017GY 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 DRCE1301 and cucumber inbred line EURY313-1017GY comprising introduced beneficial or desirable traits.

The present invention relates to a mutant ACO2 gene allele, which leads to a plant of the family of Cucurbitacea, in particular a cucumber plant producing only male flowers. The invention also relates to a plant of the family of Cucurbitacea, in particular a cucumber plant, comprising the mutant ACO2 gene allele. The mutant ACO2 allele provides plants that only produce male flowers. The invention further relates to the use of the mutant allele of the ACO2 gene for the identification and development of a plant of the family of Cucurbitacea, in particular a cucumber plant, producing only male flowers.

The disclosure provides a plant of variety NUN 93065 CUL as well as seeds and plants and fruits thereof. NUN 93065 CUL is a bitter free, Dutch long slicing cucumber variety of the Kasja type comprising resistance to Podosphaera xanthii, Cucumber Vein Yellowing Virus (CVYV), and Cucumber Green Mottling 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.

An attenuated strain of cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) is useful to protect cucumber plants from infection with the wild-type infectious CGMMV strain. The genome of the attenuated virus contains at least one mutation or group of mutations selected from c.4969G>A, c.3334C>T, and a group of at least six of the mutations c.315G>A; c.1498A>G; c.1660C>T; c.3430C>T; c.3528A>G; c.4144C>T; c.4248C>T; and c.6228C>T. These mutated genomes encode one or more mutations selected from R163711 in the 186 kDa readthrough replication protein, A1092V in the 129 kDa replication protein and/or the 186 kDa readthrough replication protein, and at least six mutations selected from G86S, E480G, S534F, A1124V, N1157D, P1362L, P1397S in the 129 kDa replication protein and/or the 186 kDa readthrough replication protein, and the A156V mutation in the coat protein.

These mutated genomes encode one or more mutations selected from R1637H in the 186 kDa readthrough replication protein, A1092V in the 129 kDa replication protein and/or the 186 kDa readthrough replication protein, and at least six mutations selected from G86S, E480G, S534F, A1124V, N1157D, P1362L, P1397S in the 129 kDa replication protein and/or the 186 kDa readthrough replication protein, and the A156V mutation in the coat protein.

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 Mottling Mosaic Virus (CGMMV).

The present invention relates to a cucumber plant of the species Cucumis sativus carrying a genetic determinant that leads to a darker green stem in the seedling stage that is predictive of a darker green color of the fruits as compared to an isogenic cucumber plant not carrying the said genetic determinant, which genetic determinant is as comprised in a cucumber plant representative seed of which was deposited with the NCIMB under deposit number NCIMB 41859. The genetic determinant is suitably introgressed into the cucumber plant from a cucumber plant of which representative seed has been deposited with the NCIMB under deposit number NCIMB 41859.

The invention provides seeds and plants of cucumber hybrid DRCB6028, cucumber inbred line BAP-Y319-5013GY, and cucumber inbred line BAPY314-5002GY. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds, plant parts, and tissue cultures of cucumber hybrid DRCB6028, cucumber inbred line BAP-Y319-5013GY, and cucumber inbred line BAPY314-5002GY 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 DRCB 6028, cucumber inbred line BAP-Y319-5013GY, and cucumber inbred line BAPY314-5002GY comprising introduced beneficial or desirable traits.
