NC 2rinEC determinate line has the crimson gene combined with the rin gene in an enhanced color background; large, smooth fruit; jointed pedicels; smooth leaf type (non curl); useful as a parent for developing rin hybrids with improved color.

NC 3 rinEC has a determinate plant with slight foliage curl. Fruit are very large and are a deep globe (ball) shape with jointless pedicels. It has the rin and crimson genes and developes a pinkish orange exterior color with red streaks throughout the flesh. This line is useful as a parent in developing large fruited, extended-shelf life hybrids with improved fruit color.

NC 58S(2002)-1A has the Sw-5 gene for resistance to tomato spotted wilt virus. Plant type is determinate with slight leaf curl. Fruit set is fairly concentrated, and fruit are large in size. Fruit have the nippled gene (n) and have smooth blossom end scars with very little prominent nippling seen under field conditions. This line is a parent in the F1 hybrid NC 0392, which is a 'Mountain Spring' type.

NC 123S(2002)-1C has tested homozygous for markers for the Sw-5, Mi and I-3 genes. It has a determinate growth habit with a fairly tall open plant. Foliage is noncurled and is dark green. This line is a parent in the F1 hybrid NC 0256 and has shown good combining ability in several other hybrids. It is useful as a parent in developing high quality hybrids with multiple disease resistance.

NC 127S(2002)-BK has the Sw-5 gene for resistance to tomato spotted wilt virus. It has a medium sized determinate vine with noncurl foliage and has shown heavy fruit set with good size and firmness. this line is a parent in NC 0227 and NC 0236. It has combined well in other F1s and is useful as a parent in developing hybrids with tomato spotted wilt resistance.

NC 1 Grape has a compact indeterminate growth habit as a result of the brachytic gene for short internodes. It is early in maturity and high in sugar with good flavor and good fruit characteristics.

NC 2 Grape has a compact indeterminate growth habit as a result of the brachytic gene for short internodes. It is homozygous for the rin gene combined with another genetic factor which improves fruit color. when fully mature, it develops a deep orange exterior color. Fruit have a high sugar content. This line is useful as a parent in developing extended shelf life in F1 hybrids of grape tomato.

NC 63 EB(2002)-1C breeding line with combined resistance to early blight (Campbell 1943 source) and late blight (Ph-2 gene derived from 'Richter's Wild Tomato'). Fruit are late maturing and are uniform ripening with jointed pedicels. Plant is determinate with heavy foliage cover. Photo on right foreground shows late blight resistance of the line under nonsprayed conditions.

NC 870(2002)-2B breeding line with combined resistance to early blight (Campbell 1943 soure) and late blight (Ph-3 gene derived from L. 3708 from AVRDC). Fruit are late maturing and are uniform ripening with jointed pedicels. Plant growth is vigorous determinate with heavy foliage cover.
