The present invention provides novel lettuce cultivar Claudita and plant parts, seed, and tissue culture therefrom. The invention also provides methods for producing a lettuce plant by crossing the lettuce plants of the invention with themselves or another lettuce plant. The invention also provides lettuce plants produced from such a crossing as well as plant parts, seed, and tissue culture therefrom.

The present invention relates to a Eruca sativa seed designated 88-001 RZ, which exhibits a combination of traits including downy mildew resistance, medium to late bolting, no leaf division in at least the first three leaf pairs to emerge on a plant, round leaves of at least the first leaf pair to emerge on a plant. The present invention also relates to a Eruca sativa plant produced by growing the 88-001 RZ seed. The invention further relates to methods for producing the salad rocket cultivar, represented by salad rocket variety 88-001 RZ.

This disclosure concerns nucleic acid molecules and methods of use thereof for control of insect pests through RNA interference-mediated inhibition of target coding and transcribed non-coding sequences in insect pests, including coleopteran and/or hemipteran pests. The disclosure also concerns methods for making transgenic plants that express nucleic acid molecules useful for the control of insect pests, and the plant cells and plants obtained thereby.

An open raceway algae cultivation system includes a channel configured to contain an algae cultivation fluid. The channel includes a contraction zone having a width and a depth. A pump is configured to circulate the algae cultivation fluid in the channel. A width of the contraction zone decreases leading into the entrance of the pump and a depth of the contraction zone is greater than a depth of at least a portion of the channel located outside of the contraction zone.

A New Guinea Impatiens plant designated SAKIMP044 is disclosed. Embodiments include seeds of New Guinea Impatiens SAKIMP044, plants of New Guinea Impatiens SAKIMP044, to plant parts of New Guinea Impatiens SAKIMP044, and methods for producing an impatiens plant produced by crossing New Guinea Impatiens SAKIMP044 with itself or with another impatiens variety. Embodiments include methods for producing an impatiens plant containing in its genetic material one or more genes or transgenes and transgenic impatiens plants and plant parts produced by those methods. Embodiments also relate to impatiens varieties, breeding varieties, plant parts, and cells derived from New Guinea Impatiens SAKIMP044, methods for producing other impatiens lines or plant parts derived from New Guinea Impatiens SAKIMP044, and the impatiens plants, varieties, and their parts derived from use of those methods. Embodiments further include hybrid impatiens seeds, plants, and plant parts produced by crossing New Guinea Impatiens SAKIMP044 with another impatiens variety.

The cultivation, by optimized growth and harvesting of algae derived bio-mass may provide useful feedstock for various products and processes. The present invention provides an apparatus that allows for the optimized growth and harvesting of algae within a photo-bioreactor. The photo-bioreactor may include a channel and a propulsion unit for circulating an algae mixture through a channel while exposing the algae mixture to light to support photosynthesis and growth of the algae. A method is also provided for the optimizing the growth and harvesting of algae utilizing a number of different input streams. Further, a system including a programmable control assembly is provided for the growth and harvesting of algae.

The application relates to the field of plant breeding, in particular watermelon breeding. Provided are diploid watermelon plants (and seeds from which these plants can be grown) which produce small, diploid, red watermelon fruits. Also provided are small, diploid watermelon fruits having an average weight of less than 1.8 kg.

A novel maize variety designated X95H706 and seed, plants and plant parts thereof are produced by crossing inbred maize varieties. Methods for producing a maize plant by crossing hybrid maize variety X95H706 with another maize plant are disclosed. Methods for producing a maize plant containing in its genetic material one or more traits introgressed into X95H706 through backcross conversion and/or transformation, and to the maize seed, plant and plant part produced thereby. This invention relates to the maize variety X95H706, the seed, the plant produced from the seed, and variants, mutants, and minor modifications of maize variety X95H706. This invention further relates to methods for producing maize varieties derived from maize variety X95H706.

The present invention refers to a plant or plant part comprising a polynucleotide encoding a wildtype or mutated cellulose synthase (CESA) polypeptide, the expression of said polynucleotide confers to the plant or plant part tolerance to CESA-inhibiting herbicides, such as azines.
