PEPINO MOSAIC VIRUS RESISTANT TOMATO PLANT

摘要

The present invention relates to a tomato plant (Solanum lycopersicum 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.
