A plant of variety NUN 32361 CUS is disclosed as well as seeds and plants and fruits thereof. NUN 32361 CUS is a short cucumber variety of the Silor type having dark green fruits with medium ribbing and medium internode, comprising resistance to Cladosporium cucumerinum, Cucumber Vein Yellowing Virus, Cucumber Mosaic Virus (HR), and Podosphaera xanthii (HR).

The disclosure provides methods of making gene-edited plants that are resistant to downy mildew, such as plants with reduced expression of homoserine kinase (HSK), 2-oxoglutarate-Fe(II) oxygenase (2OGO), or both. The disclosure further provides methods of making gene-edited modified plants that are cold tolerant, such as plants with reduced expression of MYB14. In some examples, CRISPR/Cas methods are used, wherein the plants include a mutated HSK, 2OGO, and/or MYB14 gene resulting in reduced expression and/or gene activity. Plants generated using the methods are provided. Such plants can include other desirable traits. HSK, 2OGO, and/or MYB14 nucleic acid and protein molecules are provided, as are gRNAs specific for HSK, 2OGO, or MYB14 and vectors containing such.

The present invention relates to a method for introducing a substance into a plant. The method of the present invention comprises the steps of: obtaining an enzymatically treated and isolated fertilized egg cell by (1-i) isolating a fertilized egg cell from a plant tissue containing a fertilized egg cell, and then treating the fertilized egg cell with an enzyme solution containing a plant tissue-degrading enzyme under a low-titer condition, (1-ii) treating a plant tissue containing a fertilized egg cell with an enzyme solution containing a plant tissue-degrading enzyme under a low-titer condition, and then isolating the fertilized egg cell that has been enzymatically treated, (1-iii) treating a plant tissue containing a fertilized egg cell with an enzyme solution containing a plant tissue-degrading enzyme under a low-titer condition, and simultaneously isolating the fertilized egg cell that has been enzymatically treated, (1-iv) isolating an egg cell and a sperm cell from a plant to produce a fertilized egg by fusing the cells, and then treating the fertilized egg cell with an enzyme solution containing a plant tissue-degrading enzyme under a low-titer condition, or (1-v) treating a plant tissue containing an egg cell with an enzyme solution containing a plant tissue-degrading enzyme under a low-titer condition, and then isolating the egg cell that has been enzymatically treated, and further fusing the egg cell with an isolated sperm cell; and (2) introducing a substance selected from the group consisting of nucleic acids, proteins, and peptides into the resultant enzymatically treated and isolated fertilized egg cell.

Embodiments disclosed herein relate to the field of plant molecular biology, specifically to DNA constructs for conferring insect resistance to a plant. Embodiments disclosed herein relate to insect resistant corn plant containing event DP-915635-4, and to assays for detecting the presence of event DP-915635-4 in samples and compositions thereof

The present invention provides a novel squash plant having an especially small seed cavity, and a method for producing the squash plant. The present invention provides a method for producing a small seed cavity squash plant that includes developing, from the progeny of an F1 seed obtained by crossing a Cucurbita maxima and a Cucurbita moschata, a small seed cavity squash plant in which the proportion of the volume of the seed cavity relative to the fruit volume is 15% or less, and also provides a small seed cavity squash plant that is a small seed cavity Cucurbita maxima plant having, within the nuclear genome, a gene associated with a small seed cavity trait of a plant of the genus Cucurbita, or a hybrid plant obtained using the small seed cavity Cucurbita maxima plant as a parent, or a progeny of either of these plants.

The invention provides seeds and plants of tomato hybrid DRTH5007.
