A novel maize variety designated X05H233 and seed, plants and plant parts thereof are produced by crossing inbred maize varieties. Methods for producing a maize plant by crossing hybrid maize variety X05H233 with another maize plant are disclosed. Methods for producing a maize plant containing in its genetic material one or more traits introgressed into X05H233 through backcross conversion and/or transformation, and to the maize seed, plant and plant part produced thereby. This invention relates to the maize variety X05H233, the seed, the plant produced from the seed, and variants, mutants, and minor modifications of maize variety X05H233. This invention further relates to methods for producing maize varieties derived from maize variety X05H233.

A wheat variety designated W060036K1, the plants and seeds of wheat variety W060036K1, methods for producing a wheat plant produced by crossing the variety W060036K1 with another wheat plant, and hybrid wheat seeds and plants produced by crossing the variety W060036K1 with another wheat line or plant, and the creation of variants by backcrossing, mutagenesis or transformation of variety W060036K1 are disclosed. Methods for producing other wheat varieties or breeding lines derived from wheat variety W060036K1 and to wheat varieties or breeding lines produced by those methods are also provided.

A wheat variety designated A060130D1, the plants and seeds of wheat variety A060130D1, methods for producing a wheat plant produced by crossing the variety A060130D1 with another wheat plant, and hybrid wheat seeds and plants produced by crossing the variety A060130D1 with another wheat line or plant, and the creation of variants by backcrossing, mutagenesis or transformation of variety A060130D1 are disclosed. Methods for producing other wheat varieties or breeding lines derived from wheat variety A060130D1 and to wheat varieties or breeding lines produced by those methods are also provided.

The present disclosure describes improved methods of plant breeding using rapid seed sorting processes. More particularly, it relates to the application of automated systems and methods that rapidly and nondestructively measure, classify, and sort seeds to improve the rate, efficiency, and accuracy of selection decisions and other processes related to improving crop genetics.

The invention relates to a dominant mutation in the TDM gene leading to the production of 2n gametes in plants, to the plants comprising said mutation, and to their use in plant breeding. The invention relates also to plants in which the dominant mutation in the TDM gene is combined with the inactivation of a gene involved in meiotic recombination in plants and a gene involved in the monopolar orientation of the kinetochores during meiosis. These plants which produce apomeiotic gametes are also useful in plant breeding.

The present invention relates to non-transgenic and transgenic plants, preferably crop plants, comprising a mutation causing an alteration of the amino acid sequence in the CATD domain of the centromere histone H3 (CENH3), preferably within the loop1 or the α2-helix of the CATD domain, which have the biological activity of a haploid inducer. Further, the present invention provides methods of generating the plants of the present invention and haploid and double haploid plants obtainable by crossing the plants of the present invention with wildtype plants as well as methods of facilitating cytoplasm exchange.

Methods for preserving viability of plant tissues such as plant embryos are provided herein. Also included are methods for storing genomic DNA and/or molecular marker assay materials in an oil bilayer as part of a high-throughput molecular characterization system. Moreover, plant embryos may be treated while in an oil matrix. The treatment may include chromosome doubling, Agrobacterium-mediated transformation, or herbicide selection as part of an embryo rescue process.
