Description:
Originated from a cross of F439-16-10-3 and PI 203396. F439-16-10-3 is a component line of the cultivar, Florunner. The original population was advanced to the F4 generation using single seed descent. Individual F4 plants were harvested and the population was subjected to selection pressure for resistance to late leaf spot and tomato spotted wilt (caused by Tomato spotted wilt virus, TSWV) for the next three generations. During this same period, the population was also subjected to selection for desirable pod shape, seed size, testa color, growth habit, maturity, high yield, and grade characteristics..
