Abstract:
1. A tomato plant comprising a hir4 allele of Lycopersicon hirsutum conferring elevated Brix relative to a Lycopersicon esculentum plant lacking said hir4 allele, wherein the plant lacks an allele genetically linked to the hir4 allele of Lycopersicon hirsutum conferring increased plant vegetative growth relative to a Lycopersicon esculentum plant lacking said allele genetically linked to the hir4 allele, wherein said hir4 allele and allele genetically linked to the hir4 allele are located in a genomic region corresponding to markers TG155 and TG500, wherein the hir4 allele is located proximal to TG155 in said region relative to the allele conferring increased vegetative growth.
