Fungal resistance: broad-spectrum stress tolerance including Pseudoperonospora cubernsis (P. cubensis) resistance. P. cubensis is the causal agent of cucurbit downy mildew, responsible for devastating losses worldwide of cucumber, cantaloupe, pumpkin, watermelon and squash.
Generating male sterility lines (MLS). Using MLS in hybrid seed production for monoclinous crops reduces costs and ensures high purity of the varieties because it does not produce pollen and has exserted stigmas. Complete abolition of pollen development.
