: If I remember correctly "VFN" refers to that particular hybrid's resistance 
: to Tobacco Mosaic Virus and perhaps other diseases.  Other combinations of 
: letters can be found in connection with other hybrids; the more letters (up

V = Verticillium resistance
F = Fusarium resistance
N = Nematode resistance
