Pepper plants exhibiting resistance to root knot nematode species are provided, together with methods of producing, identifying, or selecting plants or germplasm with a root knot nematode resistance phenotype. Such plants include pepper plants comprising introgressed genomic regions conferring pest resistance. Compositions, including novel polymorphic markers for detecting plants comprising introgressed pest resistance alleles, are further provided.

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.

Methods for conveying soy cyst nematode (SCN) resistance into non-resistant soybean germplasm are provided. In some embodiments, the methods include introgressing SCN resistance into a non-resistant soybean using one or more nucleic acid markers for marker-assisted breeding among soybean lines to be used in a soybean breeding program, wherein the markers are linked to and/or associated with SCN resistance. Also provided are single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with resistance to SCN. Soybean plants and seeds produced by any of the disclosed methods are provided.

The present invention relates to a nucleic acid molecule encoding an MeR1 protein, which confers resistance to root-knot nematode when present in a plant of the Solanaceae family, wherein said nucleic acid molecule has a nucleotide sequence which is a nucleotide sequence which may comprise a coding sequence according to SEQ ID NO: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9, or a coding sequence which has at least 90% sequence identity with the sequence according to SEQ ID NO: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9; or a nucleotide sequence encoding a protein having an amino acid sequence according to SEQ ID NO: 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 or 17, or a protein having an amino acid sequence which has at least 85% sequence identity with the amino acid sequence according to SEQ ID NO: 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 or 17. The invention further relates to plants and seeds which may comprise the nucleic acid molecule, methods for making and identifying such plants and use of the nucleic acid molecule.
