A new and distinct cultivar of Petunia plant named ‘Dopetpoplucobl’, characterized by its relatively compact, semi-upright and mounding plant habit; moderately vigorous growth habit; freely branching habit; early and freely flowering habit; large dark violet-colored flowers with dark purple-colored throats and venation; and good garden performance.

A new and distinct tomato variety NUN 00325 TOP is disclosed, as well as seeds and plants and fruits thereof.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a tobacco plant having a low alkaloid content. In the tobacco plant, a function of a gene encoding aspartate oxidase AO2 is suppressed.

A new Petunia plant named ‘PEHY0076’ particularly distinguished by its small sized, red-purple with white flowers, medium to late flowering and a mounding plant habit.

The present invention is directed to a commercial tomato, namely S. lycopersicum plant, which is resistant to an arthropod pest comprising in its genome introgressed sequences from S. galapagense conferring resistance to said arthropod pest, wherein the introgressed sequences are chosen from those present in the genome of a plant of the line TUT115 NCIMB accession number 42109. The commercial tomato of the invention is preferably resistant to ToMV (Tomato Mosaic Virus). The introgressed sequences are preferably found at one or more of the loci defined by the following SNP markers: SNP solcap_snp_sl_18619 on chromosome 1 and SNP solcap_snp_sl_12348 on chromosome 1.

In order to provide tobacco resistant to a virus, tobacco in accordance with the present invention is arranged such that: (i) a translation initiation factor eIF(iso)4E protein which is non-functional with respect to a virus is produced or (ii) expression of a translation initiation factor eIF(iso)4E gene is suppressed; and (a) a translation initiation factor eIF4E2 protein, which is non-functional with respect to a virus, is produced or (b) expression of a translation initiation factor eIF4E2 gene is suppressed.

Provided herein are plants belonging to the family of the Solanaceae such as plants of the genus Petunia and/or Calibrachoa and especially to Petunia plants which plants are resistant to the plant pathogen Tobamovirus amongst which the plant pathogens Tobacco mosaic virus, Tomato mosaic virus, Tobacco mild green mosaic virus and Pepper mild mottle virus. Further provided herein are methods for identifying Tobamovirus resistant plants of the Solanaceae family. Specifically, the present invention relates to plants belonging to the Solanaceae family, which plants are resistant to Tobamovirus and which plants comprise in its genome SEQ ID No. 1 and/or SEQ ID No. 3.

The invention provides seeds and plants of tomato hybrid SVTH3438 and tomato line FDR-A818-0430. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds, plant parts, and tissue cultures of tomato hybrid SVTH3438 and tomato line FDR-A818-0430 and to methods for producing a tomato plant produced by crossing such plants with themselves or with another plant, such as a tomato plant of another genotype. The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates to plants, seeds, plant parts, and tissue cultures of tomato hybrid SVTH3438 and tomato line FDR-A818-0430 comprising introduced beneficial or desirable traits.

A new and distinct cultivar of Helleborus plant named ‘ET EPB 731’, characterized by its upright plant habit; moderately vigorous to vigorous growth habit; continuous and freely flowering habit; relatively large light pink and purplish red bi-colored flowers that are held above the foliar plane on relatively long peduncles; and good garden performance.
