Abstract
The present invention relates to novel melon plants displaying an increased resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. melonis race 1,2 infection. The present invention also relates to seeds and parts of said plants, for example fruits. The present invention further relates to methods of making and using such seeds and plants. The present invention also relates to novel genetic sequences associated with said increased resistance and to molecular markers associated with said novel genetic sequences.
Claims19
A cultivated melon plant, which is a cultivated Cucumis melo plant, resistant to Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. melonis race 1,2 (FOM 1,2) infection, comprising in its genome an introgressed sequence from C. melo subsp. agrestis which confers resistance to FOM 1,2, wherein said introgressed sequence is comprised in melon line 19MFR011167, representative seed of which is deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 43448, or a progeny thereof, is located on chromosome 4 and comprises at least one of the following SNP markers:
- a) a G genotype in the heterozygous or homozygous state for SNP marker 1 at a position corresponding to position 95 in SEQ ID NO:
- 1;
- b) an A genotype in the heterozygous or homozygous state for SNP marker 2 at a position corresponding to position 113 in SEQ ID NO:
- 6;
- c) an A genotype in the heterozygous or homozygous state for SNP marker 3 at a position corresponding to position 73 in SEQ ID NO:
- 11;
- d) a G genotype in the heterozygous or homozygous state for SNP marker 4 at a position corresponding to position 239 in SEQ ID NO:
- 16;
- e) an A genotype in the heterozygous or homozygous state for SNP marker 5 at a position corresponding to position 163 in SEQ ID NO:
- 21;
- f) an A genotype in the heterozygous or homozygous state for SNP marker 6 at a position corresponding to position 59 in SEQ ID NO:
- 26;
- g) an A genotype in the heterozygous or homozygous state for SNP marker 7 at a position corresponding to position 119 in SEQ ID NO:
- 31;
- h) an A genotype in the heterozygous or homozygous state for SNP marker 8 at a position corresponding to position 69 in SEQ ID NO:
- 36;
- i) an A genotype in the heterozygous or homozygous state for SNP marker 9 at a position corresponding to position 136 in SEQ ID NO:
- 41;
- and/or
- j) a T genotype in the heterozygous or homozygous state for SNP marker 10 at a position corresponding to position 108 in SEQ ID NO:
- 46.
A plant of melon line 19MFR011167, representative seed of which is deposited under NCIMB Accession No. 43448.
