NC 132S is homozygous for the Sw-5 gene for tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) resistance. Has Ve gene for Verticillium wilt race resistance; I and I-2 genes for resistance to Fusarium wilt races 1 and 2; Mi gene for root knot nematode resistance. Determinate growth habit; adaxial leaf curl associated with the n (nippled) gene for pinpoint blossom end scar. Jointed pedicels and uniform light green color of immature fruit. Mature fruit are firm and resistant to fruit cracking. It is useful as a parent in developing 'Mountain Spring' type F₁ hybrids.

NC 1 CS has the Sw-5 gene for resistance to TSWV. It is also resistant to verticillium wilt (Ve) and fusarium wilt races 1 and 2 (I and I-2). Large, deep oblate fruit with jointed pedicels. Firm, deep red color (crimson gene). Excellent combining ability as a parent in F₁ hybrids.

Release Notice

NC 1 rinEC (right) compared to normal rin (left). NC 1 rinEC has a determinate plant with slight foliage curl. It has enhanced color compared to normal rin as a result of incorporation of the crimson gene along with another genetic factor which enhances color in the rin background. This line is useful in developing rin F₁ hybrids with improved fruit color. It is a parent in the F₁ hybrid 'Mountain Crest'.

NC EBR-8 fresh market plum (Roma) line. Fruit are deep ovate with jointed pedicels; has the crimson gene; determinate growth habit with dark green foliage; early blight tolerant and resistant to race 3 of fusarium wilt (I-3 gene); resistant to fruit cracking and weather check. This is a parent in the F₁ hybrid 'Plum Crimson' (NC EBR-7 x NC EBR-8). Needs to be crossed with a highly elongate type such as NC EBR-7 as the other parent to obtain desirable fruit length in the F₁ hybrid.
