The present invention provides breeding methods and compositions to enhance the germplasm of a plant by the use of direct nucleic acid sequence information. The methods describe the identification and accumulation of preferred nucleic acid sequences in the germplasm of a breeding population of plants.

Methods and kits are described for testing for the presence or absence of any fungus in a sample. Examples of fungi that can be detected include, but are not limited to, those belonging to the genera Candida, Aspergillus and Pneumocystis. The methods include obtaining a sample suspected of containing fungal nucleic acid, including at least one universal region of fungal nucleic acid, and testing for the presence or absence in the sample of the at least one universal region of fungal nucleic acid. Samples may be biological or non-biological.

The present disclosure provides a molecular marker linked to Fusarium wilt resistance gene in tomato, and a method for obtaining the molecular marker linked to Fusarium wilt resistance gene in tomato. The molecular marker according to the present disclosure has a high specificity, and can be used to identify the resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Physiological race 3 quickly and improve the breeding efficiency of the seeds resistant to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Physiological race 3. The molecular marker linked to Fusarium wilt resistance gene in tomato according to the present disclosure is prepared simply and has a low production cost. The molecular marker according to the present disclosure can be used to identify the resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Physiological race 3, screen the tomato single plant which is resistant to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Physiological race 3, and/or determine the purity of hybrid seeds derived from hybridization of the tomato which is resistant to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Physiological race 3 and the tomato which is susceptible to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Physiological race 3. The molecular marker according to the present disclosure can be also used to prepare a kit, which has the same uses as that of the molecular marker according to the present disclosure.
