A new and distinct variety of Buddleja plant named ‘Miss Violet’ substantially as illustrated and described, characterized by its compact stature, dense and semi-upright growth habit, oblong-elliptic leaf shape, violet flower color, distorted male flower parts (anthers) resulting in male sterility, and female structures that show reduced function, resulting in reduced seed formation.

The present invention is in the field of soybean variety CL1463914 breeding and development. The present invention particularly relates to the soybean variety CL1463914 and its seed, cells, germplasm, plant parts, and progeny, and methods of using CL1463914 in a breeding program.

A novel alfalfa variety designated 55Q28 and seed, plants and plant parts thereof. Methods for producing an alfalfa plant that comprise crossing alfalfa variety 55Q28 with another alfalfa plant. Methods for producing an alfalfa plant containing in its genetic material one or more traits introgressed into 55Q28 through backcross conversion and/or transformation, and to the alfalfa seed, plant and plant part produced thereby. Alfalfa seeds, plants, or plant parts produced by crossing alfalfa variety 55Q28, or a trait conversion of 55Q28, with another alfalfa plant or population. Alfalfa populations derived from alfalfa variety 55Q28, methods for producing other alfalfa populations derived from alfalfa variety 55Q28 and the alfalfa populations and their parts derived by the use of those methods.

According to the invention, there is provided seed and plants of the hybrid corn variety designated CH867519. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of the variety CH867519, and to methods for producing a corn plant produced by crossing a corn plant of variety CH867519 with itself or with another corn plant, such as a plant of another variety. The invention further relates to genetic complements of plants of variety CH867519.

A novel maize variety designated PH2SMS and seed, plants and plant parts thereof are provided. Methods for producing a maize plant comprise crossing maize variety PH2SMS with another maize plant are provided. Methods for producing a maize plant containing in its genetic material one or more traits introgressed into PH2SMS through backcross conversion and/or transformation, and to the maize seed, plant and plant part produced thereby are provided. Hybrid maize seed, plants or plant parts are produced by crossing the variety PH2SMS or a locus conversion of PH2SMS with another maize variety.

The present invention relates to regulatory sequences. In particular, the invention relates to a regulatory nucleic acid molecule, at least part of which has a transcription initiation function directing expression of an operably associated protein encoding polynucleotide of interest to non-tassel tissue in maize, but not or substantially not to tassel. The invention further relates to chimeric genes and expression cassettes comprising the regulatory nucleic acid molecule and to transgenic plants comprising the chimeric genes and expression cassettes.

A new and distinct Diervilla cultivar named ‘G2X885411’ is disclosed, characterized by dense branching, red Fall foliage, burgundy new growth and distinctive red seed pods. The new variety is a Diervilla, normally produced as an outdoor garden or container plant.

A new and distinct Caryopteris cultivar named ‘DCAROCEAN’ is disclosed, characterized by deep violet flowers and short spacing between inflorescences. The new variety is a Caryopteris, normally used for ornamental horticulture purposes.

A new and distinct Caryopteris cultivar named ‘DCARLAGOON’ is disclosed, characterized by vigorous growth, purple plant stems and uniform flowering configuration. The new variety is a Caryopteris, normally used for ornamental horticulture purposes.

The present invention relates to isolated nucleic acid molecules and their corresponding encoded polypeptides able confer the trait of improved plant size, vegetative growth, growth rate, seedling vigor and/or biomass in plants challenged with saline and/or oxidative stress conditions. The present invention further relates to the use of these nucleic acid molecules and polypeptides in making transgenic plants, plant cells, plant materials or seeds of a plant having plant size, vegetative growth, growth rate, seedling vigor and/or biomass that are improved in saline and/or oxidative stress conditions with respect to wild-type plants grown under similar conditions.
