Estimating the term…
Tomato plants exhibiting fruit with increased BRIX content are provided, together with methods of producing, identifying, or selecting plants or germplasm with an increased BRIX phenotype and lacking undesirable leaf necrosis. Such plants include tomato plants comprising introgressed genomic regions conferring increased BRIX without necrosis. Compositions, including novel polymorphic markers for detecting plants comprising introgressed alleles providing increased BRIX without necrosis, are further provided.

A recombinant DNA segment comprising a BRIX allele that confers increased BRIX to the fruit of a plant, and lacking a deleterious allele genetically linked to said BRIX allele that confers necrosis to a plant.
A method of producing a tomato plant exhibiting fruit with increased BRIX, comprising:
A method of producing a tomato plant exhibiting fruit with increased BRIX, comprising introgressing into a plant a BRIX allele within a recombinant chromosomal segment flanked in the genome of said plant by marker locus M4 (SEQ ID NO:16) and marker locus M5 (SEQ ID NO:21) on chromosome 1, wherein said BRIX allele confers increased BRIX to said fruit of said plant compared to a plant not comprising said allele, and wherein said recombinant chromosomal segment lacks a deleterious allele genetically linked to said BRIX allele that confers increased necrosis to said plant when present.

A method of selecting a tomato plant exhibiting fruit with increased BRIX, comprising:
