Abstract:
1. A method of producing a plant of the Capsicum genus that exhibits resistance to PMMoV pathotype 1.2.3, comprising the steps of: a) providing a recipient plant of the b) introducing into the genome of said recipient plant or a part thereof or a progeny plant thereof a genomic region comprising a truncated L4 resistance allele, wherein said allele comprises genetic information capable of being expressed in said plant or plant part or progeny plant thereby conferring resistance to PMMoV pathotype 1.2.3 to said plant or plant part or progeny plant, and wherein genetic information that confers the SNFD phenotype is absent from said allele at least to such an extent that the SNFD phenotype is not expressed, and wherein said introduction of said genomic region is performed by in vitro culture technique, protoplast fusion, transformation or a doubled haploid technique, wherein said truncated L4 resistance allele comprises at least one group 1 marker selected from the group consisting of E39/M58-F-95, E54/M55-F-101, E58/M60-F-255 and E58/M50-F-580, and wherein said truncated L4 resistance allele comprises the absence from said L4 resistance allele of at least one group 2 or group 3 marker selected from the group consisting of E60/M54-F-447, E35/M49-F-90, E39/M58-F-65, E39/M51-F-380, E58/M62-F-168, E66/M54-F-600, Tm3 DRS and TG036.
