The present invention relates to a tomato plant (Solanum lycopersicum L.) which may comprise a genetic determinant that confers resistance to Pepino Mosaic Virus (PepMV), wherein the resistance is characterised by the presence of at least QTL1 and/or QTL2. The invention also relates to sources for obtaining said genetic determinant, representative seed of which were deposited with the NCIMB under accession numbers NCIMB 41927, NCIMB 41928, NCIMB 42068, and NCIMB 42069. The invention further relates to seeds and progeny of the plant and to its fruits and processed fruits. In addition the invention relates to molecular markers linked to PepMV resistance conferring QTLs and the use thereof.

Hybrid tomato varieties designated ‘VT19077208’ and ‘VT19108230’ are disclosed. ‘VT19077208’ and ‘VT19108230’ are hybrid tomato varieties exhibiting stability and uniformity.

The present invention relates to a tomato plant which carries at least one QTL in its genome that leads to its fruits comprising higher levels of anthocyanins when compared to fruits produced by a tomato plant not carrying said QTL in its genome, wherein said fruits are not purple at the red-ripe harvest stage. A tomato plant of the invention may also comprise all QTLs, each either in homozygous or heterozygous form. The invention further relates to progeny of the plant, propagation material for the plant and to markers for identifying the QTLs and their use.

The invention provides seeds and plants of tomato hybrid DRTH1011, tomato line FIR-XM17-4466, and tomato line FIR-XM15-4367. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds, plant parts, and tissue cultures of tomato hybrid DRTH1011, tomato line FIR-XM17-4466, and tomato line FIR-XM15-4367 and to methods for producing a tomato plant produced by crossing such plants with themselves or with another plant, such as a tomato 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 tomato hybrid DRTH1011, tomato line FIR-XM17-4466, and tomato line FIR-XM15-4367 comprising introduced beneficial or desirable traits.

The invention provides seeds and plants of tomato hybrid SVTH0540 and tomato line FIR-A818-0405. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds, plant parts, and tissue cultures of tomato hybrid SVTH0540 and tomato line FIR-A818-0405 and to methods for producing a tomato plant produced by crossing such plants with themselves or with another plant, such as a tomato 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 tomato hybrid SVTH0540 and tomato line FIR-A818-0405 comprising introduced beneficial or desirable traits.

The present disclosure provides cultivated tomato plants exhibiting increased resistance to Mi-1 resistance-breaking root-knot nematodes. Such plants comprise novel recombinant chromosomal segments comprising alleles associated with disease resistance from Solanum pimpinellifolium on chromosome 1 and/or chromosome 6. In certain aspects, compositions and methods for producing, breeding, detecting, and selecting plants or germplasm with an increased disease resistance phenotype are provided.

The invention relates to a Solanum lycopersicum plant comprising in its genome QTLs confering to the plant an improved phenotype corresponding to foliar and/or fruit tolerance and/or resistance to Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit virus, with respect to a corresponding plant devoid of said QTLs, and wherein said QTLs are chosen from those present in the genome of a plant of the seeds HAZTBRFVRES1 NCIMB accession number 42758. The QTL are preferably characterized by defined alleles of different SNPs on chromosome 6, 9 and 11. The invention is also directed to parts of these plants with improved phenotype, as well as progeny, to the use of these plants for introgressing the improved phenotype in another genetic background, as well as to different methods for obtaining tomato plants or seeds with increased foliar and/or fruit tolerance or resistance to Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit virus.

Tomato plants exhibiting resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (Fol) are provided, together with methods of producing, identifying, or selecting plants or germplasm with a Fol resistance phenotype and lacking undesirable soft fruit traits. Such plants include tomato plants comprising introgressed genomic regions conferring disease resistance. Compositions, including novel polymorphic markers for detecting plants comprising introgressed disease resistance alleles, are further provided.

A new and distinct tomato variety NUN 01543 TOF is disclosed, as well as seeds and plants and fruits thereof. NUN 01543 TOF is a saladette tomato variety comprising high resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici Races 0, 1, and 2, Tomato Mosaic Virus (ToMV) Strains 0, 1, 2, and 1-2, Torrado Virus (ToTV), Verticillium dahliae Race 0, Fulvia fulva Race 0 and Groups A-E, and Stemphylium spp., and intermediate resistance to Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus (ToBRFV), Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus (TYLCV), and Meloidogyne incognita.

A new and distinct tomato variety NUN 00325 TOP is disclosed, as well as seeds and plants and fruits thereof.
