A new and distinct cultivar of sweetpotato plant named Charleston-163, characterized by high anthocyanin content, high yield, with storage roots having smooth dark purple skin and medium purple flesh. When baked the storage roots have a deep violet color and a unique, sweet flavor with a dry, smooth texture. Storage roots have a long shelf life and will remain marketable up to one year in storage. The new cultivar Charleston-163 has field resistance to common soil insects and diseases and a wide adaptation for production in the southeastern United States and California.

The invention provides seed and plants of the onion line designated SVNZ5847. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of onion line SVNZ5847, and to methods for producing an onion plant produced by crossing a plant of onion line SVNZ5847 with itself or with another onion plant, such as a plant of another line. The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates to parts of a plant of onion line SVNZ5847, including the bulbs and gametes of such plants.

The present invention relates to a hybrid between a leek and a garlic plant. More specifically, the invention relates to an interspecific hybrid plants resulting from a cross between an Allium ampeloprasum plant and an Allium sativum plant. Specifically, the present invention relates to Interspecific hybrid plants derived from a cross between an Allium ampeloprasum plant and an Allium sativum plant, wherein the hybrid plants are capable of producing seed and contains nuclear genomic material derived from both said Allium ampeloprasum plant and said Allium sativum plant, and further wherein the interspecific hybrid plants contain at least 250 mg/kg of allicin when determined in the white part of the leaf sheet of the plants and furthermore wherein the interspecific hybrid plants are obtainable, obtained or derived, from an interspecific hybrid plant as deposited under accession number NCIMB 42564.

A more efficient breeding against Cercospora leaf spot disease, or the development of new resistant lines, is enabled via the provision of the Cercospora resistance-mediating gene according to the invention; in particular, a dominant resistance effect in the target plant is evoked by the property of the identified gene alone. The Cercospora resistance-mediating gene, and embodiments of the present invention that are described in the preceding, offer additional applications, e.g., the use of the resistant gene allele in cis-genetic or trans-genetic approaches, with the goal of developing new resistant cultivars.
