Abstract
The present invention relates to tropical root-knot nematode resistant carrot plants comprising a first tropical root-knot nematode resistance providing genomic fragment. The present invention further relates to methods for identifying tropical root-knot nematode resistant carrot plants, methods for providing tropical root-knot nematode resistant carrot plants and means for identifying tropical root-knot nematode resistant carrot plants.
Claims14
A carrot plant resistant to tropical root-knot nematodes, comprising on chromosome 4 of said carrot plant a first tropical root-knot nematode resistance providing genomic fragment, wherein said first genomic fragment comprises SEQ ID Nos. 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21 and 23.
A method for identifying a tropical root-knot nematode resistance providing genomic fragment comprising the steps of:
- a) isolating or providing a genomic nucleic acid of a carrot plant;
- b) identifying in said genomic nucleic acid a first tropical root-knot nematode resistance providing genomic fragment on chromosome 4 by detecting SEQ ID Nos. 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21 and 23;
- and
- c) optionally, further identifying in said genomic nucleic acid a second tropical root-knot nematode resistance providing genomic fragment on chromosome 8 by detecting SEQ ID Nos. 25, 27, 29, 31, 33, 35, 37 and 39.
A method for providing a tropical root-knot nematode resistant carrot plant, comprising the steps of:
- a) obtaining a carrot plant not comprising a first tropical root-knot nematode resistance providing genomic fragment on chromosome 4 of said carrot plant;
- and
- b) introducing in said carrot plant a first tropical root-knot nematode resistance providing genomic fragment as found in a carrot plant of which representative seed has been deposited under deposit number NCIMB 43792, wherein said genomic fragment is not introduced by means of an essentially biological process.
