Isolated polynucleotides and polypeptides, and recombinant DNA constructs are useful for conferring delayed or accelerated flowering time and maturity. Compositions (such as plants or seeds) comprise these recombinant DNA constructs; and methods utilize these recombinant DNA constructs. The recombinant DNA constructs comprise a polynucleotide operably linked to a promoter that is functional in a plant, wherein said polynucleotides encode late flowering polypeptides.

The present invention relates to day-length neutral Cannabis plants with one or more value phenotypes.

The disclosure relates to Calibrachoa plants comprising a double-flowering characteristic and a dwarf growth characteristic, methods for generating said plants, and molecular markers corresponding to the double-flowering and dwarf growth traits.

The present invention provides means for inhibiting the bolting and flowering of a Beta vulgaris plant, including an isolated nucleic acid, which can be used to produce a transgenic Beta vulgaris plant, where bolting and flowering is inhibited after vernalization. Furthermore, the invention discloses vectors, transgenic and non-transgenic, non-bolting plants and parts thereof, and methods for producing such plants.

A gene that controls epidermal bladder cell formation is isolated and identified. Specifically, a gene involved in an epidermal bladder cell formation control action is identified by: recognizing that a plant body with remarkably reduced epidermal bladder cells appears by performing EMS mutagenesis treatment on seeds; and comparing genomic DNA of the mutant and wild-type genomic DNA.

A new garden rose plant of the miniature class which has abundant, pink and white striped flowers and attractive foliage. This new and distinct variety has shown to be uniform and stable in the resulting generations from asexual propagation.

A new poinsettia plant particularly distinguished by having red bracts having an upright habit, and having a triangular plant form, is disclosed.

A new poinsettia plant particularly distinguished by having a medium vigor, orbicular leaf shape and an orbicular bract shape, is disclosed.

A new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant named G21POS04YE, characterized by its upright, outwardly spreading and uniformly rounded plant habit; moderately vigorous growth habit; freely branching habit; dense and full plant habit; flexible stems; dark green-colored leaves; uniform and freely flowering habit; long flowering period; spider decorative-type inflorescences with quilled ray florets that are bright yellow in color; and excellent garden performance.
