The present invention relates to novel tomato plants producing fruits displaying a modified sugar content, particularly displaying an increased sucrose content. The present invention also relates to seeds and parts of said plants, for example fruits. The present invention further relates to methods of making and using such seeds and plants. The present invention also relates to a novel sucrose modifier SucMod allele, which, when combined with a sucrose accumulation TIV allele derived from a green-fruited wild tomato accession, significantly alters the proportion of sugar stored in the fruit, confers increased fruit sucrose content at the expense of hexose sugars and results in a fruit with a distinctive flavour.

A new and distinct variety of raspberry plant named DrisRaspSeventeen, particularly selected for its primocane and floricane yield, fruit flavor, and sugar content, is disclosed.

A new and distinct variety of grapevine Sugrafiftynine is characterized by the production of a large-sized, dark red and narrow elliptic berry with an early ripening date. The berries of Sugrafiftynine are very firm.

The present invention relates to cereal grain comprising an aleurone, an embryo, a starchy endosperm and a reduced level and/or activity of a mitochondrial single-stranded DNA binding (mtSSB) polypeptide, a RECA3 polypeptide or a TWINKLE polypeptide. Grain of the invention, or aleurone therefrom, has improved nutritional properties, and hence is particularly useful for human and animal feed products.

Provided is loss-of-function granule bound starch synthase genes and a Fagopyrum plant using the same. Loss-of-function granule bound starch synthase genes have been produced by: identifying granule bound starch synthase genes highly expressed in endosperm of a Fagopyrum plant from among granule bound starch synthase genes identified from mapping results of a genomic sequence of the Fagopyrum plant; and allowing the granule bound starch synthase genes thus identified to lose a function by mutagenesis, and a Fagopyrum plant has been produced which is a double-recessive homozygote homozygously having the loss-of-function granule bound starch synthase genes.

The invention relates to methods for determining if a pea variety or a product derived from that pea variety has improved digestion properties. The invention also relates to methods of improving the digestion property of a pea, as well as method of making such plants.

The present invention relates to rice grain with thickened aleurone. Also provided is a rice plant comprising at least one genetic variation which reduces the activity of at least one ROS1a gene in the plant. Grain of the invention, or aleurone therefrom, has improved nutritional properties, and hence is particularly useful for human and animal feed products.
