The QTL is as comprised in the genome of a Solanum lycopersicum plant representative seed of which was deposited with the NCIMB under deposit number NCIMB 42882, NCIMB 42885, NCIMB 42887, or NCIMB 42890.

The present invention relates to a modified CCA gene which encodes a CCA-adding enzyme, which modified CCA gene leads to resistance against a positive-strand RNA virus having a TLS, wherein the modified CCA gene comprises a gene comprising a nucleotide sequence that encodes a CCA-adding enzyme, a gene comprising a promoter sequence, or a gene comprising a nucleotide sequence that encodes a CCA-adding enzyme having a deletion, a substitution, or an insertion of at least one amino acid. The invention further relates to plants and seeds comprising the modified genes, methods for making and identifying such plants and use of the gene.

The present invention relates to Solanum lycopersicum (S. lycopersicum) plants with resistance to Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus (TYLCV), powdery mildew (PM) and nematodes. According to the invention, the resistances are provided by coupling in cis on the same chromosome the OL4 gene conferring resistance to PM and nematodes and TY1 gene conferring resistance to TYLCV, without coupling the Mi-1 gene conferring resistance to nematodes in cis with said OL4 gene conferring resistance to PM and nematodes and TY1 gene conferring resistance to TYLCV. The genes can be present homozygously or heterozygously in the genome of the S. lycopersicum plants, and they confer resistance to TYLCV, PM and nematodes. The present invention also provides methods for making such plants, and to methods of detecting and/or selecting such plants.

The invention relates to a Solanum lycopersicum plant that is resistant to TBRFV, which plant comprises a QTL on chromosome 11, and/or a QTL on chromosome 12, and/or a QTL on chromosome 6. The presence of the QTL on chromosome 11 can be identified by use of at least one of the markers selected from the group comprising SEQ ID NOS: 1, 9, and 2-8; the presence of the QTL on chromosome 12 can be identified by use of at least one of the markers selected from the group comprising SEQ ID NOS: 10, 15, and 11-14; and the presence of the QTL on chromosome 6 can be identified by use of at least one of the markers selected from the group comprising SEQ ID NOS: 16, 25, and 17-24. The QTL is as comprised in the genome of a Solanum lycopersicum plant representative seed of which was deposited with the NCIMB under deposit number NCIMB 42879, NCIMB 42880, NCIMB 42881, NCIMB 42882, NCIMB 42883, NCIMB 42884, NCIMB 42885, NCIMB 42886, NCIMB 42887, NCIMB 42888, NCIMB 42889, or NCIMB 42890.

The application concerns melon plants (Cucumis melo) resistant to infection with tomato leaf curl New Dehli virus (ToLCNDV). The resistant melon plants have a genomic introgression fragment on chromosome 5 which confers tolerance to ToLCNDV in a dominant manner. Also disclosed are markers for identifying those fragments, methods for identifying or producing resistant melon plants.

The present invention relates to a modified FBXL13 gene which leads to a plant showing resistance to a virus belonging to the Torradovirus genus. The invention also relates to a plant belonging to the Solanaceae family comprising the modified FBXL13 gene. The modified FBXL13 gene of the invention provides a plant showing resistance to a virus belonging to the Torradovirus genus when compared to plants not comprising the modified FBXL13 gene. The invention further relates to the use of the modified FBXL13 gene for the identification and development of a plant belonging to the Solanaceae family showing resistance to a virus belonging to the Torradovirus genus.

The invention relates to a Solanum lycopersicum plant that is resistant to TBRFV, which plant comprises a QTL on chromosome 11 between SEQ ID NO: 1 and 53. The presence of the QTL on chromosome 11 is identified by use of at least one of the markers selected from the group comprising SEQ ID NOS: 4 to 52. The QTL is as comprised in the genome of a Solanum lycopersicum plant representative seed of which was deposited with the NCIMB under deposit number NCIMB 42882, NCIMB 42885, NCIMB 42887, or NCIMB 42890.

The present invention relates to Tomato spotted wilt virus, or TSWV, resistant plants and especially plants of the genus Cichorium such as leaf chicory, endive, radicchio, Belgian endive, French endive, and witloof. The invention further relates to methods for identifying and providing the present plants using genomic nucleic acid sequences identified herein. Specifically, the present invention relates to plants being resistant to Tomato spotted wilt virus, or TSWV, wherein the plants comprise a first resistance providing genomic fragment comprising one or more nucleic acid sequences selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID No. 2, SEQ ID No. 4, SEQ ID No. 6, SEQ ID No. 8, SEQ ID No. 10, SEQ ID No. 12, SEQ ID No. 14, SEQ ID No. 16, SEQ ID No. 18, SEQ ID No. 20, SEQ ID No. 22, SEQ ID No. 24, and SEQ ID No. 26.

A watermelon plant and seed, namely of Citrullus lanatus, which are resistant to geminiviruses, especially to begomoviruses including Watermelon chlorotic stunt virus (Wm CSV), comprising in their genome introgressed sequences from Citrullus colocynthis conferring tolerance to said viruses, when present homozygously. More specifically, the invention also discloses molecular genetic markers, linked to the recessive genetic locus conferring tolerance to geminiviruses comprising A Citrullus lanatus seed having in its genome introgressed sequences from Citrullus colocynthis conferring tolerance to geminiviruses only when present homozygously, wherein said introgressed sequences are located on homologous chromosome 6, within the chromosomal region delimited by nucleotides 1-2,255,000.
