The present disclosure discloses a method for breeding a recessive genetic male sterile line of a sporophyte. The method comprises the following steps: linking a sporophyte male fertile gene Y, a down-regulation expression element Xi of an endogenous gametophyte male fertile gene, a herbicide A resistance gene A.sup.R, a down-regulation element Bi of a herbicide B resistance gene, and an anthocyanin gene C or a down-regulation element Ci thereof, and transferring the linked genes into a sterile mutant of the sporophyte fertile gene Y, and pollinating a sterile plant with a positive plant to breed a genetic sterile line of a sporophyte. The method is universal and suitable for all plants, can obtain a genetic sterile line of a sporophyte with a sterile plant rate of 100%, reduce a cost for separating a sterile line from a maintainer line, identify purity intuitively, rapidly, accurately, and economically at an early stage.

A novel hybrid pepper plant designated OLMECA is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of pepper hybrid OLMECA, to the plants and plant parts of hybrid pepper OLMECA, and to methods for producing a pepper plant by crossing the hybrid pepper OLMECA with itself or another pepper plant.

The invention provides recombinant DNA molecules that are unique to maize event MON87429 and transgenic maize plants, maize plant parts, maize seeds, maize cells, and agricultural products containing maize event MON87429 as well as methods of using and detecting maize event MON87429. Transgenic maize plants containing maize event MON87429 exhibit tolerance to inhibitors of acetyl COA carboxylase (ACCase) in the aryloxyphenoxy propionate (FOP) group, synthetic auxins, inhibitors of glutamine synthetase, and inhibitors of 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS).

The herbicide-tolerant rice cultivar designated PVL03 and its hybrids and derivatives are disclosed.
