A method for producing a Cucumis sativus plant, providing cucumber fruits exhibiting “extended shelf life, comprising: (a) providing a first Cucumis sativus plant containing at least one quantitative trait locus (QTL); (b) crossing the first plant with a second Cucumis sativus plant; (c) analyzing the progeny for presence or absence of QTL; and (d) identifying and selecting plants containing QTL. The QTL is selected from QTL1 or QTL2. QTL1 has a first molecular marker of SEQ ID No:1, a cucumber genomic fragment, and SEQ ID No:2, and a second molecular marker of SEQ ID No:3, a cucumber genomic fragment, and SEQ ID No:4. QTL2 has a first molecular marker of SEQ ID No:5, a cucumber genomic fragment, and SEQ ID No:6, and a second molecular marker of SEQ ID No:7, a cucumber genomic fragment, and SEQ ID No:8. |
