Abstract
Provided herein are Apium graveolens plants resistant to the plant pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Apii race 4 and wherein the resistance is encoded by one genomic region or a combination of at least two, or three genomic regions. Also provided herein are methods for identifying the present Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Apii race 4 resistant plants and to molecular markers for use in the present methods.

A hybrid Apium graveolens plant, representative seed having been deposited under NCIMB 43699, wherein the plant is resistant to the plant pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Apii race 4 and wherein the resistance is encoded by a combination of at least two genomic regions, a first genomic region, located on linkage group 4 between 28 and 33 cM;
- and a second genomic region, located on linkage group 5 between 56 and 60 cM,
- wherein said first genomic region, located on linkage group 4, is characterized by one or more sequences selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID Nos. 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9;
- and
- wherein said second genomic region, located on linkage group 5, is characterized by one or more sequences selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID Nos. 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25 and 27.
A method for identifying a genomically encoded resistance against the plant pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Apii race 4 as found in Apium graveolens plant deposited under deposit number NCIMB 43699, comprising detecting a combination of at least two genomic regions, a first genomic region, located on linkage group 4 between 28 and 33 cM and a second genomic region, located on linkage group 5 between 56 and 60 cM,
- wherein said first genomic region, located on linkage group 4, is detected using one or more molecular markers selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID Nos. 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9, and
- said second genomic region, located on linkage group 5, is detected using one or more molecular markers selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID Nos. 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25 and 27.
