PEPINO MOSAIC VIRUS RESISTANT TOMATO PLANT

摘要

The present invention relates to a tomato plant ( L.) comprising a genetic determinant that confers resistance to Pepino Mosaic Virus (PepMV) wherein the resistance is characterised by the presence of at least QTL1 located on Linkage Group (LG) 6 between the physical positions 32 363 349 bp and 34 505 939 bp preferably between positions 33 558 627 bp and 34 505 939 bp or a PepMV resistance conferring part thereof and/or QTL2 located on Linkage Group (LG) 7 between the physical positions 60 667 821 bp and 62 460 220 bp preferably between positions 61 387 356 bp and 62 253 846 bp or a PepMV resistance conferring part thereof and/or QTL3 located on Linkage Group (LG) 9 between the physical positions 60 998 420 bp and 62 512 587 bp preferably between positions 61 494 664 bp and 62 385 023 bp more preferably between positions 61 723 339 bp and 62 385 023 bp or a PepMV resistance conferring part thereof. 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.
