New lettuce variety designated ‘PS 1525’ is described. ‘PS 1525’ exhibits stability and uniformity.

A new and distinct lettuce variety NUN 06240 LTL is disclosed, as well as seeds and plants and heads or leaves thereof. NUN 06240 LTL is romaine lettuce variety, comprising resistance to Downy Mildew (Bremia lactucae) Isolates Bl:16-32EU, Nasonovia ribisnigri Biotype Nr:0, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lactucae Race 1 HR, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lactucae Race 4 HR, Rhizomonas subefaciens (Corky Root), Lettuce Mosaic Virus (LMV), Lettuce Necrotic Spot Virus (LNSV), and Tomato Bushy Stunt Virus (TBSV).

A new and distinct Spathiphyllum wallisii cultivar named ‘Lucia’ is disclosed, characterized by variegated leaves with two monochromatic colors, yellow and green. The new variety is an Spathiphyllum wallisii, normally produced as an ornamental plant.

A new and distinct Dieffenbachia seguine cultivar named ‘A1’ is disclosed, characterized by mottled variegated leaves in light green which fades to light grey along midrib, mottled light grey patches and dark green secondary venation, dark green margins and moderate light green primary vein. The new variety is a Dieffenbachia seguine, normally produced as an ornamental plant.

‘NCMS3’ is a new cultivar of Miscanthus sinensis particularly distinguished by its triploid cytotype, low female fertility, and attractive variegated foliage and showy inflorescences. ‘NCMS3’ provides an attractive and highly infertile alternative to diploid cultivars where reseeding and naturalization is a concern.

A process for producing a reduced tobacco-specific nitrosamine (TSNA) tobacco plant comprising reducing and/or eliminating anatabine biosynthesis in wild-type tobacco plant. In addition, use of such plants for discovery of molecular markers that are closely linked with genes required for anatabine biosynthesis and for discovery of genes required for anatabine biosynthesis. In addition, a smoking composition, a smoking article and a smokeless tobacco oral delivery product contain the tobacco material.

A new cultivar of Hosta plant named ‘VER10234’ that is characterized by its young leaves that emerge white in color with green veins, maturing leaves that slowly develop streaks that are green in color, and fully mature leaves that turn all green in color (viridescent effect), its flowers that are lavender in color, and its flowers that are held horizontal to slightly dropping on the flowering stem.

Novel lettuce, such as lettuce designated FLOWCUT is disclosed. In some embodiments, the disclosure relates to the seeds of lettuce designated FLOWCUT, to the plants and plant parts of lettuce designated FLOWCUT, and to methods for producing a lettuce plant by crossing the lettuce designated FLOWCUT with itself or another lettuce plant. The disclosure further relates to methods for producing a lettuce 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 lettuce plants derived from the lettuce designated FLOWCUT.
