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 celery cultivar, designated TBG 39, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of celery cultivar TBG 39, to the plants of celery cultivar TBG 39 and to methods for producing a celery plant by crossing the cultivar TBG 39 with itself or another celery cultivar.

The invention further relates to hybrid celery seeds, plants, and plant parts produced by crossing cultivar TBG 39 with another celery cultivar.

A celery cultivar, designated TBG 42, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of celery cultivar TBG 42, to the plants of celery cultivar TBG 42 and to methods for producing a celery plant by crossing the cultivar TBG 42 with itself or another celery cultivar. The invention further relates to methods for producing a celery plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic celery plants and plant parts produced by those methods. This invention also relates to celery cultivars or breeding cultivars and plant parts derived from celery cultivar TBG 42, to methods for producing other celery cultivars, lines or plant parts derived from celery cultivar TBG 42 and to the celery plants, varieties, and their parts derived from the use of those methods. The invention further relates to hybrid celery seeds, plants, and plant parts produced by crossing cultivar TBG 42 with another celery cultivar.

A celery cultivar, designated TBG 41, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of celery cultivar TBG 41, to the plants of celery cultivar TBG 41 and to methods for producing a celery plant by crossing the cultivar TBG 41 with itself or another celery cultivar.

This invention also relates to celery cultivars or breeding cultivars and plant parts derived from celery cultivar TBG 41, to methods for producing other celery cultivars, lines or plant parts derived from celery cultivar TBG 41 and to the celery plants, varieties, and their parts derived from the use of those methods. The invention further relates to hybrid celery seeds, plants, and plant parts produced by crossing cultivar TBG 41 with another celery cultivar.

A celery cultivar, designated TBG 40, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of celery cultivar TBG 40, to the plants of celery cultivar TBG 40 and to methods for producing a celery plant by crossing the cultivar TBG 40 with itself or another celery cultivar. The invention further relates to methods for producing a celery plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic celery plants and plant parts produced by those methods. This invention also relates to celery cultivars or breeding cultivars and plant parts derived from celery cultivar TBG 40, to methods for producing other celery cultivars, lines or plant parts derived from celery cultivar TBG 40 and to the celery plants, varieties, and their parts derived from the use of those methods. The invention further relates to hybrid celery seeds, plants, and plant parts produced by crossing cultivar TBG 40 with another celery cultivar.

A new variety of Platanus occidentalis named DRABROT which is characterized by a contorted, semi-weeping branch habit and dark green, disease-free leaves. In combination, these characteristics distinguish DRABROT from all other cultivars known to the inventors.

A new and distinct Paulownia hybrid tree named ‘WEGROW-B7’ which is characterized by a fast rate of growth, developing a large diameter trunk in a relatively short period of time, an upright trunk with a narrow canopy, and high frost tolerance. The claimed plant propagates successfully by softwood stem cuttings and has proven to be uniform and stable in the resulting generations.

This invention relates to methods and materials for modulating the characteristics of a plant, said plant having been heterologously disposed to an endophyte or a plurality of endophytes, or derived from a plant reproductive element heterologously disposed to an endophyte or a plurality of endophytes.

A new and distinct Quercus phellos tree named TGO-GAL which is characterized by a dominant central leader with an upright ascending and freely branching growth habit, an oval to pyramidal tree crown profile, red juvenile foliage in spring and autumn, and mature foliage which fades to yellow prior to leaf abscission in autumn. The claimed plant propagates successfully by softwood stem cuttings and has proven to be uniform and stable in the resulting generations.
