Abstract
The present disclosure provides lettuce plants exhibiting resistance to downy mildew. Such plants may comprise novel introgressed genomic regions associated with disease resistance from L. virosa. In certain aspects, compositions, including novel polymorphic markers and methods for producing, breeding, identifying, and selecting plants or germplasm with a disease resistance phenotype are provided.

- 1. An elite lettuce plant comprising an introgression from Lactuca virosa on chromosome 7, wherein said introgression comprises a single gene conferring improved resistance to Bremia lactucae relative to a plant lacking said introgression.
- 2. An elite lettuce plant comprising an introgression from Lactuca virosa on chromosome 7, wherein said introgression comprises a first allele conferring improved resistance to Bremia lactucae relative to a plant lacking said introgression, and wherein said introgression lacks a second allele genetically linked to said first allele and conferring stunted growth.
-
19. A method for obtaining an elite lettuce plant exhibiting improved resistance to Bremia lactucae, comprising:
-
a) obtaining an elite lettuce plant heterozygous for a first allele from Lactuca virosa that confers quantitative resistance to Bremia lactucae and that is genetically linked in the plant to a second allele from Lactuca virosa that confers stunted growth, wherein the plant is heterozygous relative to a corresponding locus in said elite plant; (b) obtaining progeny of the plant; and (c) selecting at least a first progeny plant in which recombination has occurred such that the progeny comprises said first allele that confers quantitative resistance to Bremia lactucae but not said second allele. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

- 26. A lettuce plant comprising an introgression from Lactuca virosa on chromosome 7, wherein said introgression comprises a single gene conferring improved resistance to Bremia lactucae relative to a plant lacking said introgression and wherein a sample of seed comprising said introgression was deposited under ATCC Accession Number PTA-121598.
