The present invention relates to non-tränsgenic and transgenic plants, preferably crop plants, comprising a mutation causing an alteration of the amino acid sequence in the CATD domain of the centromere histone H3 (CENH3), preferably within the loop1 or the α2-helix of the CATD domain, which have the biological activity of a haploid inducer. Further, the present invention provides methods of generating the plants of the present invention and haploid and double haploid plants obtainable by crossing the plants of the present invention with wildtype plants as well as methods of facilitating cytoplasm exchange.

The present invention relates to a mutant onion (Allium cepa) plant, which is resistant to a pathogen of viral, bacterial, fungal or oomycete origin. The mutant onion plant has a reduced level, reduced activity or complete absence of AcDMR6 protein as compared to a wild type onion plant.

Processes for the production of large quantities of diploid F1 Solanum potato tubers that are uniform in shape are provided. Diploid F1 hybrid plants are produced from true seeds. The tubers produced by the diploid F1 hybrid plants are either harvested for consumption, processing or extraction, or for production of seedling tubers which are then planted to produce tubers for consumption, processing or extraction. Also provided are diploid F1 hybrid seeds and plants that produce large quantities of tubers that are uniform in shape and produce large quantities of sprouts per tuber when used as seedling tubers.

The present invention relates to non-transgenic and transgenic plants, preferably crop plants, having biological activity of a haploid inducer and comprising a polynucleotide which comprises a nucleotide sequence encoding a centromer histone H3 (CENH3) protein, wherein the polynucleotide comprises at least one mutation causing an alteration of the amino acid sequence of the CENH3 protein, and to a part of the part. Further, the invention provides methods of generating the inducer plants, methods of generating haploid and double haploid plants using the inducer plants as well as methods of facilitating cytoplasm exchange.

The present invention relates to an ALS inhibitor herbicide tolerant Beta vulgaris plant and parts thereof comprising a mutation of an endogenous acetolactate synthase (ALS) gene, wherein the ALS gene encodes an ALS polypeptide containing an amino acid different from tryptophan at a position 569 of the ALS polypeptide.

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.
