A heat-tolerant tomato plant exhibiting a high capacity for developing seed-containing fruits under high temperature conditions is provided. The present invention relates to a method for producing a heat-tolerant tomato plant comprising introducing a genetic mutation into a tomato plant, wherein the mutation improves the pollen viability and the capacity for developing seed-containing fruits under high temperature conditions compared with wild-type plant; and a heat-tolerant tomato plant into which the mutation has been introduced.

This disclosure provides tobacco plants that exhibit altered photosynthesis as well as methods of making and using such plants.

The present invention provides herbicide-tolerant plants. The present invention also provides methods for controlling the growth of weeds by applying an herbicide to which herbicide-tolerant plants of the invention are tolerant. Plants of the invention may express an acetyl-Coenzyme A carboxylase enzyme that is tolerant to the action of acetyl-Coenzyme A carboxylase enzyme inhibitors.

A rice cultivar designated FRC-22 is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of rice cultivar FRC-22, to the plants of rice FRC-22 and to methods for producing a rice plant produced by crossing the cultivar FRC-22 with itself or another rice variety. The invention further relates to hybrid rice seeds and plants produced by crossing the cultivar FRC-22 with another rice cultivar. The invention further relates to methods for producing a rice plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic plants produced by that method and to methods for producing other rice cultivars derived from rice cultivar FRC-22.

Provided herein are genetic markers and a coding sequence associated with a low- or ultra-low anatabine trait in tobacco.

The invention relates to a tomato plant, wherein the fruits of which have an improved shelf-life as compared to the fruits of a wild type tomato plant, wherein the genetic determinant causative of the improved shelf life trait is a mutation in the hp2 gene. The increased shelf-life may comprise a fruit that shows normal ripening having a fruit firmness at red ripe harvest that is increased by at least 31%, preferably by at least 42%, more preferably by at least 52%, even more preferably by at least 60%, most preferably by at least 70% as compared to a fruit having similar genetic background that lacks the trait of the invention.
