The present disclosure provides tomato plants exhibiting improved fruit quality and disease resistance. Such plants may comprise novel introgressed genomic regions associated with improved fruit quality or disease resistance. In certain aspects, compositions, including novel polymorphic markers and methods for producing, breeding, identifying, and selecting plants or germplasm with an improved fruit quality or disease resistance phenotype are provided.
A Solanum lycopersicum plant of a commercial variety, the plant comprising a Lin5 allele from Solanum pennellii and a Pen1 allele from Solanum pennellii, wherein the plant exhibits elevated Brix levels relative to a plant lacking the Lin5 and Pen1 alleles.
A method for producing a hybrid Solanum lycopersicum plant with elevated Brix levels, comprising crossing a first Solanum lycopersicum parent plant with a second Solanum lycopersicum plant of a different genotype, wherein the first parent plant comprises a Lin5 allele from Solanum pennellii and a Pen1 allele from Solanum pennellii, wherein the Lin5 and Pen1 alleles confer elevated Brix levels relative to a plant lacking the Lin5 and Pen1 alleles.
A method of identifying a tomato plant comprising a genotype associated with increased Brix levels in fruit, the method comprising the step of:
