Hybrid tomato variety ‘H2127’ is described. The tomato variety is a ground-culture hybrid processing tomato variety suitable for machine harvest and is adaptable to humid climactic conditions of regions such as the Northeastern United States. It is a second mid-season variety with resistance to verticillium race 1, fusarium wilt races 1 and 2, root rot nematode, tomato spotted wilt virus, bacterial spot, bacterial canker, and early blight. ‘H2127’ produces an exceptional set of small, pear shaped red fruit suitable for whole peeling. The superior vine health makes it particularly valuable for production regions with high levels of rain that can promote bacterial and fungal diseases.

A novel hybrid cantaloupe plant designated HMC458279 is disclosed. The disclosure relates to the seeds of hybrid cantaloupe designated HMC458279, to the plants and plant parts of hybrid cantaloupe designated HMC458279, and to methods for producing a cantaloupe plant by crossing the hybrid cantaloupe HMC458279 with itself or another cantaloupe plant.

A novel hybrid cantaloupe plant designated OUTLAW is disclosed. The disclosure relates to the seeds of hybrid cantaloupe designated OUTLAW, to the plants and plant parts of hybrid cantaloupe designated OUTLAW, and to methods for producing a cantaloupe plant by crossing the hybrid cantaloupe OUTLAW with itself or another cantaloupe plant.

The application concerns melon plants (Cucumis melo) resistant to infection with tomato leaf curl New Dehli virus (ToLCNDV). The resistant melon plants have a genomic introgression fragment on chromosome 5 which confers tolerance to ToLCNDV in a dominant manner. Also disclosed are markers for identifying those fragments, methods for identifying or producing resistant melon plants.

The invention provides seeds and plants of tomato hybrid SVTH3047. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds, plant parts, and tissue cultures of tomato hybrid SVTH3047 and to methods for producing a tomato plant produced by crossing such plants with themselves or with another plant, such as a tomato plant of another genotype. The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates to plants, seeds, plant parts, and tissue cultures of tomato hybrid SVTH3047 comprising introduced beneficial or desirable traits.

According to the present invention, methylation of a target DNA in a plant is suppressed quickly and easily without using recombinant technology, and a plant having desired traits is thereby created. In an RNA-directed DNA methylation mechanism, binding between scaffold RNA produced by transcription of the target DNA and an siRNA-AGO4 complex is inhibited.

The present invention relates to a modified FBXL13 gene which leads to a plant showing resistance to a virus belonging to the Torradovirus genus. The invention also relates to a plant belonging to the Solanaceae family comprising the modified FBXL13 gene. The modified FBXL13 gene of the invention provides a plant showing resistance to a virus belonging to the Torradovirus genus when compared to plants not comprising the modified FBXL13 gene. The invention further relates to the use of the modified FBXL13 gene for the identification and development of a plant belonging to the Solanaceae family showing resistance to a virus belonging to the Torradovirus genus.

Plants, seeds and tissue cultures of the hybrid rice HR210001, and methods for producing a rice plant by crossing a rice plant of hybrid rice HR210001 with itself or with another rice plant, such as a plant of another rice variety or rice hybrid, are disclosed.
