Abstract:
1. A hybrid tomato plant of the species Solanum lycopersicum comprising commercially desirable characteristics, obtained by crossing a donor plant having within its genome a haplotype that confers resistance to tomato torrado virus (ToTV), as found in tomato breeding line T06PF1, a strain of said virus having been deposited with the Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen and Zellkulturen GmbH on 24 Nov. 2004 under depositor's reference number ToTV-E01 (DSM 16999), and a deposit of seed of said tomato line having been deposited with the American type Culture Collection (ATCC) on 6 Mar. 2014 under depositor's reference number 11 EFT 41822 (PTA-121067), wherein said haplotype is located in a genomic region of chromosome 4 between markers CT264 and TG163, linked to one or more markers selected from the group consisting of P14/M49-F-282, P11/M54-F-233/235, P11/M35-F-216, P21/M61-F-583, P25/M51-F-131, P015/M49-F-330, P13/M38-F-311/313 and C2_At5g25900, with a recipient plant comprising commercially desirable characteristics, wherein said obtained plant is produced by a method comprising screening for the presence of at least one molecular marker linked to said ToTV resistance haplotype, and wherein said haplotype is present in homozygous form.
