The present invention is in the field of plant breeding and aphid resistance. More specifically, the invention includes a method for breeding soybean plants containing quantitative trait loci that are associated with resistance to aphids, Aphis glycines. The invention further includes method for monitoring the introgression quantitative trait loci (QTL) conferring aphid resistance into elite germplasm in a breeding program.

Methods for stimulating plant growth and/or promoting plant health using free enzymes or recombinant microorganisms that overexpress enzymes are provided. Plant seeds coated with free enzymes or recombinant microorganisms that overexpress enzymes are also provided. Compositions comprising a fertilizer and an enzyme or a recombinant microorganism that overexpresses an enzyme are provided. Modified enzymes having ACC deaminase activity, recombinant microorganisms expressing the modified enzymes, plant seeds treated with the modified enzymes or recombinant microorganisms, and methods for stimulating plant growth and/or promoting plant health using the modified enzymes or recombinant microorganisms are also provided.

The invention provides seed and plants of the sweet corn line designated SHY-6RLAL196. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of sweet corn line SHY-6RLAL196, and to methods for producing a sweet corn plant produced by crossing a plant of sweet corn line SHY-6RLAL196 with itself or with another sweet corn plant, such as a plant of another line. The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates to parts of a plant of sweet corn line SHY-6RLAL196, including the seed, pod, and gametes of such plants.

The invention provides seed and plants of sweet corn hybrid SV7538SK and the parent lines thereof. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of sweet corn hybrid SV7538SK and the parent lines thereof, and to methods for producing a sweet corn plant produced by crossing such plants with themselves or with another sweet corn plant, such as a plant of another genotype. The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates to parts of such plants, including the parts of such plants.

A novel maize variety designated PH2T5B and seed, plants and plant parts thereof are provided. Methods for producing a maize plant comprise crossing maize variety PH2T5B with another maize plant are provided. Methods for producing a maize plant containing in its genetic material one or more traits introgressed into PH2T5B 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 PH2T5B or a locus conversion of PH2T5B with another maize variety.

The present invention provides novel compositions for use to enhance crop performance. Specifically, the present invention provides for delayed senescence and/or improved yield enhancement in various crops. The present invention also provides for combinations of compositions and methods that provide for delayed senescence and/or improved yield.

The invention relates to transgenic plants comprising an inverted-repeat construct which triggers post-transcriptional gene silencing of an endogenous visual reporter gene driven by a tissue-specific promoter wherein said tissue is relevant for pathogen entry, propagation or replication and their uses for screening natural or synthetic molecules, microorganisms or extracts from micro- or macro-organisms for their potential ability to inhibit pathogen entry, propagation or replication in plants by enhancing PTGS or for characterizing the mode of action of natural or synthetic molecules that are known to enhance plant disease resistance through an ill-defined mode of action.
