A new Helianthus plant named SUR67-1 particularly distinguished by the medium to large size yellow decorative inflorescences, vigorous size plant, round mound plant habit, with a natural flowering response of early May until late September.

The present invention provides for a method for producing an inbred plant comprising a first and second trait of interest in the L1-shoot meristem layer for use in producing a periclinal chimera plant, the inbred plant thus obtained, the use of said inbred plant for producing said periclinal chimera plant, a method for producing a periclinal chimera plant using said inbred plant, a periclinal chimera plant thus obtained, the use of said periclinal chimera plant in producing plant product and the plant product thus obtained.

The present invention provides methods for the production of plant inbred seed, or for the production of plant hybrid seed, wherein the seed obtained exhibits altered and/or improved germination properties, in particular improved germination properties such as enhanced seed germination rate, enhanced seed germination capacity and/or enhanced seedling fresh weight. The present invention also provides for the use of periclinal chimera plants for improving germination properties of seed.

The present disclosure provides Capsicum annuum BCMS plants comprising a male fertility restoration locus. Such plants comprise novel introgressed genomic regions associated with male fertility from Capsicum annuum on chromosome 6. In certain aspects, compositions and methods for producing, breeding, identifying, and selecting plants or germplasm with a male fertility phenotype are provided.

The present disclosure provides Capsicum annuum BCMS plants exhibiting uniform female fertility. Such plants comprise novel introgressed genomic regions associated with uniform female fertility from Capsicum annuum on chromosome 6. In certain aspects, compositions and methods for producing, breeding, identifying, and selecting plants or germplasm with a uniform female fertility phenotype are provided.

The invention relates to a lettuce plant (Lactuca sativa L.) which may comprise a resistance allele which confers a broad spectrum resistance to Bremia lactucae, wherein the resistance allele is located on linkage group 9, and which resistance allele is as found in the genome of plants grown from seeds of which a representative sample was deposited under accession number NCIMB 42141. The invention further provides seeds, progeny, propagation material and food products from the plant.

Table grape plants exhibiting reduced berry browning are provided, together with methods of producing, identifying, or selecting plants or germplasm with a reduced berry browning phenotype. Such plants include table grape plants comprising introgressed genomic regions conferring a reduction in berry browning. Compositions, including novel polymorphic markers for detecting plants comprising introgressed berry browning reduction alleles, are further provided.

An object of the present invention is to provide an F1 hybrid or a portion thereof, and use of the F1 hybrid or a portion thereof. The F1 hybrid of the present invention is an F1 hybrid between Nicotiana umbratica and Nicotiana kawakamii.

The present invention provides for a method for producing an inbred plant comprising a first and second trait of interest in the L1-shoot meristem layer for use in producing a periclinal chimera plant, the inbred plant thus obtained, the use of said inbred plant for producing said periclinal chimera plant, a method for producing a periclinal chimera plant using said inbred plant, a periclinal chimera plant thus obtained, the use of said periclinal chimera plant in producing plant product and the plant product thus obtained.

This disclosure relates to a white-fruited, perfect-flowered, bunch grapevine having white fruit due to a non-VyMybA1 genetic mutation. Methods for producing the grapevine can utilize or include, for example, breeding, mutagenesis, recombinant DNA, and/or gene editing. The grapevine can be used to obtain achieve new grape colors and/or new combinations of color and flavor.
