The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates to parts of such plants, including the fruit and gametes of such plants.

The invention provides seed and plants of squash hybrid SV8575YL and the parent lines thereof. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of squash hybrid SV8575YL and the parent lines thereof, and to methods for producing a squash plant produced by crossing such plants with themselves or with another squash 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 fruit and gametes of such plants.

The disclosure provides novel Cucurbita plants having a determinate growth habit and plants comprising a QTL associated with said determinate growth trait. The disclosure provides a Cucurbita plant having a determinate growth habit and its derivatives. The disclosure also provides molecular markers linked to said QTL. The disclosure further provides methods for producing plants having a genetic determinacy in growth habit and maturity timing, and the plants produced by such methods.

The present disclosure relates to squash plants that are resistant to the plant disease downy mildew caused by the pathogen Pseudoperonospora cubensis and/or powdery mildew caused by the pathogen Erysiphe cichoracearum. Specifically, the present disclosure relates to squash plants that are resistant to mildew disease including a mutated homoserine kinase gene encoding a mutated homoserine kinase protein. The present disclosure further relates to seeds, tissues, cells, or plant parts of the present squash plants, and to methods for identifying mildew resistant squash plants.

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

A hybrid squash designated as E28R.00788 is disclosed. The disclosure includes the seeds of hybrid squash E28R.00788, the plants of hybrid squash E28R.00788, methods for producing a hybrid plant, and methods for producing other squash lines, cultivars or hybrids derived from the hybrid squash E28R.00788.

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

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.
