The invention provides methods and compositions for breeding pepper (Capsicum sp. such as Capsicum annuum) lines, including isogenic and nearly isogenic lines, displaying one or more mature fruit color(s) of interest. Predictive genetic markers and associated sequences and primers, associated with phenotypic diversity at the Ccs locus encoding Capsanthin-Capsorubin Synthase, and the Ze locus encoding Zeaxanthin Epoxidase are also provided, as well as methods for breeding pepper lines. Further provided are pepper plants, and plant parts including seeds, seed mixtures, fruit, and packaged fruit, which display mature fruit color(s) of interest.

Pepper plants exhibiting resistance to root knot nematode species are provided, together with methods of producing, identifying, or selecting plants or germplasm with a root knot nematode resistance phenotype. Such plants include pepper plants comprising introgressed genomic regions conferring pest resistance. Compositions, including novel polymorphic markers for detecting plants comprising introgressed pest resistance alleles, are further provided.

Tomato plants exhibiting resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (Fol) are provided, together with methods of producing, identifying, or selecting plants or germplasm with a Fol resistance phenotype and lacking undesirable soft fruit traits. Such plants include tomato plants comprising introgressed genomic regions conferring disease resistance. Compositions, including novel polymorphic markers for detecting plants comprising introgressed disease resistance alleles, are further provided.

A petunia-calibrachoa plant designated SAKPXC033 is disclosed. Embodiments include the seeds of petunia-calibrachoa SAKPXC033, the plants of petunia-calibrachoa SAKPXC033, to plant parts of petunia-calibrachoa SAKPXC033, and methods for producing a plant produced by crossing petunia-calibrachoa SAKPXC033 with itself or with another variety. Embodiments include methods for producing a plant containing in its genetic material one or more genes or transgenes and the transgenic plants and plant parts produced by those methods. Embodiments also relate to varieties, breeding varieties, plant parts, and cells derived from petunia-calibrachoa SAKPXC033, methods for producing other lines or plant parts derived from petunia-calibrachoa SAKPXC033, and the plants, varieties, and their parts derived from use of those methods. Embodiments further include hybrid seeds, plants, and plant parts produced by crossing petunia-calibrachoa SAKPXC033 with another variety.

A new and distinct tomato variety NUN 01543 TOF is disclosed, as well as seeds and plants and fruits thereof. NUN 01543 TOF is a saladette tomato variety comprising high resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici Races 0, 1, and 2, Tomato Mosaic Virus (ToMV) Strains 0, 1, 2, and 1-2, Torrado Virus (ToTV), Verticillium dahliae Race 0, Fulvia fulva Race 0 and Groups A-E, and Stemphylium spp., and intermediate resistance to Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus (ToBRFV), Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus (TYLCV), and Meloidogyne incognita.

The present disclosure provides metabolic signatures and genetic markers for tracking enhanced nitrogen utilization efficiency phenotypes in tobacco plants and for introgressing enhanced nitrogen utilization efficiency phenotypes into tobacco plants. The disclosure also provides tobacco plants comprising enhanced nitrogen utilization efficiency and methods to the creation of tobacco plants comprising enhanced nitrogen utilization efficiency. The disclosure also provides recombinant polynucleotides and polypeptides for enhancing nitrogen utilization efficiency in modified tobacco plants and tobacco plants comprising the provided recombinant polynucleotides and polypeptides.

The present disclosure provides plant transformation vectors, T-DNA insert regions, and transformed plants. The vectors are designed to be a binary vector for use in plant transformations for such as potato. The transformed plants are characterized in that they contain the T-DNA insert region comprising stacked expression cassettes and the corresponding phenotype. The present disclosure also provides methods for identifying genetic material in transformed plants, including in food products made from such plants. The disclosure further relates to the materials and/or means for detecting plant transformation events and methods for detecting presence of plant transformation events.

The object of an embodiment of the present invention is to improve the quality of a tobacco product. The present invention relates to a tobacco plant in which a mutation is introduced in a genome, the mutation causing suppression of a function of a specific endogenous gene.
