Patent ID: 7968773

Claim:
A Botrytis -resistant tomato plant, comprising at least one quantitative trait locus (QTL) associated with Botrytis resistance of Lycopersicon hirsutum LYC 4/78, said QTL being a member selected from the group consisting of QTL-1h, QTL-2h, and QTL-4h; wherein said QTL of Lycopersicon hirsutum LYC 4/78 is not in the natural genetic background of the Botrytis -resistant tomato plant, wherein said QTL-1h is indicated by at least one AFLP marker linked to said QTL on chromosome 1, wherein said marker is selected from the group consisting of the AFLP fragments P22M50-412h, P14M50-349h, P14M60-69h, P14M49-192h, P14M49-232h, P14M49-260e, P14M50-503h, P18M50-124h, and P14M49-114h; wherein said QTL-2h is indicated by at least one AFLP marker-linked to said-QTL on chromosome 2, wherein said marker is selected from the group consisting of the AFLP fragments P14M60-537h, P15M48-257e, P14M49-327h, P14M49-325h, P14M61-286e, P14M61-125h, and P18M51-134h; wherein said QTL-4h is indicated by at lease one AFLP marker linked to said QTL on chromosome 4, wherein said marker is selected from the group consisting of the AFLP fragments P18M51-169.5e, P18M51-305.4h, P14M60-262.9e, P 14M61-292.7h, TG609, P 14M48-345e, P 14M48-177e, P 18M50-147e.
