Fecha de publicación: -- Fuente: WIPO "tomato" The present invention relates to lettuce plants comprising a genomic fragment that provides resistance to new isolates of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lactucae. The present invention further relates to methods for identifying the present Fusarium -resistant lettuce plants and to methods for providing Fusarium-resistant lettuce plants. Specifically, the present invention relates to Lettuce plants resistant to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lactucae isolate NCIMB 44470 and/or isolate NCIMB 44471, wherein said resistance is encoded by a genomic fragment from Lactuca serriola located on chromosome 7, wherein the location of said resistance providing genomic fragment corresponds with positions 64.798.314 to 66.859.860 of chromosome 7 of the V8 lettuce reference genome, and wherein said resistance providing genomic fragment is obtainable from a lettuce plant of which representative seed is deposited under deposit number NCIMB 43937.
