Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to Solanum lycopersicum plants carrying one or more of the pat-6, pat-7, pat-8 and pat-9 parthenocarpy genes. Preferred plants comprise a pair of pat-6 and pat-7 genes or a pair of pat-8 and pat-9 genes, whereby preferably the plant is homozygous for at least one of the two genes in the pair, more preferably the plant is homozygous for both genes in the pair. Such plants are capable of producing seedless tomatoes. The invention further relates to methods for producing plants carrying one or more of the pat-6, pat-7, pat-8 and pat-9 parthenocarpy genes using marker-assisted breeding.
