Resistance to Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc) in cauliflower

A cauliflower plant that is resistant to Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc) and that does not have a green curd, said cauliflower plant:

• (i) comprising in its genome introgressed sequences from a green cauliflower plant conferring said resistance to Xcc;
• and
• (ii) not comprising in its genome a major Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) on chromosome conferring the green color of the curd,
• wherein said sequences from said green cauliflower plant conferring said resistance to Xcc are:
• one QTL that is present on chromosome 5 within a chromosomal region that is delimited by marker BN-0061002 having a nucleotide T at position 38,928,177 on chromosome 5 and marker BO-0101641 having a nucleotide C at position 39,972,831 on chromosome 5, and
• one QTL that is present on chromosome 7 within a chromosomal region that is delimited by marker BO-0002582 having a nucleotide T at position 36,520,957 on chromosome 7 and marker BN-0010593 having a nucleotide C at position 38,690,572 on chromosome 7,
• wherein said introgressed sequences from the green cauliflower plant conferring resistance to Xcc are chosen from the sequences present in the genome of a plant of the line FLA1-116-02S, a representative sample of seeds which have been deposited under the NCIMB accession number 42693, or RSF1-BC3-F3, a representative sample of seeds which have been deposited under the NCIMB accession number 43442, and
• wherein said major QTL on chromosome 5 conferring the green color of the curd is located within a chromosomal region that is delimited by marker BO-0103554 having a nucleotide C at position 33,420,357 on chromosome 5 and marker BO-0101638 having a nucleotide A at position 35,168,917 on chromosome 5.
