The present disclosure relates to use of a lectin receptor-like kinase LecRK-IX.1 as a protein for regulating insect resistance of Arabidopsis thaliana. A. thaliana with high resistance to Bemisia tabaci can be cultivated by reducing the expression of, or knocking out, an encoding gene of the protein. Therefore, Arabidopsis thaliana with the high-level resistance to Bemisia tabaci can be cultivated. The gene and its encoded protein can be applied to plant genetic improvement.

The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of watercress plant, and its plant parts, including the mutation of an allele of watercress designated “BWRW”, which results in watercress plants with red-pigmented leaves and/or stems. The red-green variety is distinguished from green watercress varieties, in particular with its red pigmentation ranging from dark purple to purple-grey to dark red to pink leaves and stems; intermediate-sized stem diameter ranging from 3.5 mm to 5.5 mm, which is commercially acceptable for both fresh and cooked consumption; a higher than average nutritional antioxidant capacity as measured by Ferric Reducing Ability of Plasma (FRAP) assays; as well as expanded harvesting seasons, with suitability to be grown in the United States year-round.

A new Aubrieta plant named ‘ABRZ0007’ particularly distinguished by its very deep purple flowers, a compact and mounding habit with strong vigor, and a good winterhardiness.

The present invention includes cauliflowers with enhanced whiteness and methods for obtaining such cauliflowers. The present invention also provides reagents that can be used in methods for obtaining such cauliflowers.

The invention is in the field of Brassica carinata breeding (i.e. Ethiopian mustard breeding), specifically to Brassica carinata varieties producing seed having reduced total glucosinolate content relative to seed from existing Brassica carinata commercial varieties when grown in the same location under the same conditions. The present invention relates to seeds, plants or parts thereof, cells, methods of making, and uses of such Brassica carinata varieties and their progeny.
